Thinking Globally

November 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Announcements

Jessica Hickok, new board member, has published a great post on her blog about World Diabetes Day, which is today. In it, she talks about both the scope and the personal issues of living with diabetes:

How in the world can you not feel the desperate need for a cure for this disease that affects so many of us? This epidemic has 246 million people dealing with the daily injections, blood sugar tests, doctor appointments, carb counting and everything that comes along with this wretched disease. I feel their pain (literally) when it comes to just the constant nagging voice in the back of your mind saying things to themselves like “I wonder what my blood sugars are” or “why am I so thirsty?” It’s exhausting.

Give it a read or share your story with us. Or do both.
