I had completely forgotten.
This is not just another day that was randomly named by some facebook group, or on the internet. The recognition of a day around the world for diabetes was a joint venture of the International Diabetes Foundation and the United Nations.
World forces are recognizing that diabetes is an epidemic.
They are trying to raise awareness amongst the general population.

The question I pose to everyone today is -

What do you know about diabetes?


The answer, whether you are diabetic yourself or not at all affected is -

Not enough.


I ask everyone to do something today to become a little more aware of diabetes. Maybe you will type in 'World Diabetes Day' in google and read up on events and the day itself. Read about the Unite for Diabetes Campaign or go to the World Diabetes Day website.

But don't limit yourself to the internet - your ability to effect positive change today is two-fold. Talk to other people - you can both inform yourself AND get other people involved just by asking them a)what they know about diabetes and b)to learn a little more.
Please don't treat this like a facebook request to send out an email or other intangible. Use your voice and words to talk to people.

Have a great day everyone!
