Re: Who is ready for World Diabetes Day!

I can't wait. I love to get involved, this will be the first event that I will be involved with since I was diagnosed not too long ago so I really want to show my support. I will surely take many photos of me and my family wearing blue. What kind of things do you do to support World Diabetes Day?

i'm going to force everyone to wear blue and then take lots of pictures. HA! :D

haha, awesome! Yeah I have been reminding people on facebook all week to wear blue on the 14th so hopefully they remember.

I'm wearing blue for sure, as is my family, and hopefully some of my facebook friends.  I'm also going to get up at church and make an announcement and tell people how they can help.  I've had D for a long time, but this is my first WDD celebration!  Woohoo!

I am changing my profile pics blue and encouraging my friends to do so too. Anything blue! I am also going to wear blue today tho its going to be no fun cause its 18 degrees out and my blue is not winter weather friendly lol.

I've got my whole family wearing blue, my friends wearing blue, and I'll be poating facts about diabetes on my facebook and twitter.

And of course I am also wearing blue :)

Me and my kiddos are in blue (I even have blue shoes on), the husband has yet to wake up...hoping he'll wear blue too.
