Last day of the month and of the challenge! Thanks for sticking with me.

Both Walgreens and Party City have point of sale donation options this month for the American Diabetes Association and the JDRF, respectively. …be sure to give a little extra to the cause while you’re shopping!

A note about the odd post time: All of my posts will hit at 11:14 a.m.–the reason being that November 14 is National Diabetes Awareness Day. Hope you showed up with your blue;  if you can, for the remaining Fridays in November, wear something blue in a show of support to spotlight this cause.

Last action status….

The first thing I/my child will do when there’s a cure: ____________.

Currently there is no cure for Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, but research developments are getting closer–and in the meantime have made managing treatment a lot simpler and more comfortable than it used to be.

The thing I/my child hates most about diabetes is __________.

Diabetes has to be monitored and maintained HOURLY, not just daily, and there’s a lot involved with that. You can’t take a vacation from doing any of it or just decide to skip a step when you don’t feel like it because that may literally be the difference between life and death. So I imagine the tedium of doing the same, marginally uncomfortable things over and over again has to get to a person after a while. What might your treatment peeve be?
