Type 1 Awareness Day Awareness

I have to admit that I really didn't raise my voice much yesterday. I posted about my day on my blog & I passed out those wonderful pamphlets that Beth did. (Thank you, Beth!) A person in my department that said he really appreciated the pamphlet. He said he has several people in his family that have type 2 & didn't know very much about type 1 until he read Beth's booklet. That's what Type 1 Awareness Day was all about - to make people aware, to educate them, to help them understand.

Thanks to all of you who did so much more than than I did & actually raised your voice (or paw - in Dixie's situation).

Bernard wrote an email to his local police department about how low blood sugar can sometimes be mistaken as being drunk or impaired. Thank you, Bernard. Great idea.

Kerri organized & kept track of our posts. What a huge undertaking! Thanks so much for doing this, Kerri! Great job!

Landileigh educated us about the "Other" types of diabetes. It was very interesting as I wasn't very familiar with her type until yesterday. Thanks for making us aware, Landileigh.

Molly talked to her friends about the differences between type 1 & type 2. And Dixie raised her paw! I love it!

Sara gave some misinformed employees at a CVS what for! They were mis-stating things & Sara raised her voice. And she raised more than her voice. She also raised money & walked for a cure. Thanks for doing all of this, Sara.

And I loved reading the different type of posts from so many people yesterday. (I have to admit, I haven't gotten through all of them yet. But I'm working on it.) We all said the same thing in our own way. It was chilling! I enjoyed every minute of it. Once again, it made me feel a part of something big, something special that we share.

Thank you all for doing your part. Only good can come from this.
