#1 - Saving the Pancreas one post at a time #NHBPM
3:00 AM
Yea - I know . . . totally not as cute as
Work with me people ---- the pancreas is no tata but it's a damn fine organ . . . when it works properly!!
This month I am going to post everyday for Diabetes Awareness month by participating in National Health Blog Posting Month sponsored by WEGO Health.
Wish we me luck, cheer me on, and support diabetes awareness!
There is so much going on this month ---- tons of things for you to do
(Totally not going to lie --- I copied and pasted most of this from Meri and Hallie --- thanks, ladies!)
WORLD DIABETES DAY: Find out more about WDD and the International Diabetes Federation by clicking HERE. You can see how people around the world are ACTING on diabetes.
THE BIG BLUE TEST: The BIG BLUE TEST is a diabetes awareness program started by the non-profit Diabetes Hand Foundation, that takes place every November leading up to World Diabetes Day on november 14th. The campaign reinforces the importance of excercise managing diabetes. People with diabetes are encouraged to do the Big Blue Test any day between November 1st and November 14th by testing their blood sugar, getting active, testing again, and sharing the results online at bigbluetest.org. We all test blood sugar.
Hallie over at The Princess and the Pump is going to be hosting a give away each week during November. That's FOUR give aways! Wow --- with products from Stick Me Designs, Lauren's Hope, Tally Gear, and more!
And don't forget about about Team Type 1 running across the country!! Check out the information here. You can support them on Facebook and Twitter. Also, check out Marcus Grimm's blog post documenting his experience this far at Sweet Victory.
Last but certainly not least my mom is selling her cookbook for a cause ---- Four Sisters a Legacy of Love from our kitchen for $24.00 each and all profits are split between JDRF and CCFA.
Happy Diabetes Awareness Month!!

Can't wait to read every day this month...GOOD LUCK SW!! YOU CAN DO IT!
I applaud and bow to you blogging for 30 days straight. I can barely get a shower these days, every day. Looking forward to what you writing about and you are right, the pancreas just isn't as adorable as breasts. There, I said it. We need 'Save the Pancreas!' magnets!!!
Looking forward to reading your posts! I'm going to "unofficially" take a stab at it...hoping I can at least come close! Love the "Save the Pancreas" image...have been giggling about it since I saw it earlier on FB :)
Can't wait for more posts from you, my friend.
Go Cracka!!! I can't wait to read all month!
Heart you and agreed. Pancreas not as cute. But necessary!
Woohoo! Looking forward to reading 30 days of Laura :)
