Calling in the Troops
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 at 10:24PM I posted about this on Blogabetes and TuDiabetes and I received some feedback..
BUT I NEED MORE!!!
I am calling on my faithful readers. This Saturday is the ADA walk Team Beat the Bete is doing and I really want to put one sentence statements on our shirts. Either advice for PWD's or misconceptions that people may have about diabetes. I just want to do even more as we walk.
So far this is all I have:
Insulin is not a cure.
There is no such thing as "good" diabetes.
Test. Don't guess.

That's it. Sorry Scott (and Zazzy), the one you suggested may be a touch too PG13 for the team! LOL
So far we have 10 people walking so I really need some help!
Thanks!

I Like "Insulin is not a cure."
how about "YES I can eat that!"
Grr!
Michelle took mine! Except it was going to be - Yes, I can eat that I just don't want to!
What about:
No, it's not a pager!
Diabetes - not your grandpa's disease anymore.
Seriously, my word verification was eubzvhvk - wouldn't like 3 or 4 letters do the same thing?!
Hi George,
I'm usually a lurker - but had to jump in here. I have two suggestions.
1) How about something on World Diabetes Day at the bottom. and
2) Diabetes - it's not for wimps!
Lastly - just a quick note to say your WW experience inspired me - and I'm down 7.6 as of yesterday. Yeah! Thanks for the push in the right direction.

Those are all great. Keep 'um coming!
Michelesd - thanks for coming out of the shadows! I love the idea of mentioning World Diabetes Day! I will definately do that.
PS- I am so happy my WW experience has helped. Now lets both hope for a good weigh in this week. I have not had time to exercise at all so I am a little concerned.
I love e. coli.
(because that's who makes my insulin)
How about,
"Insulin: my life support."
"Pump pimp"
"To bolus, or not to bolus? That is the question?"
My suggestions are:
I don't have a touch of the sugar.
Walking to cure diabetes one step at a time.
I have a t-shirt at home that I like with the slogan:
"Diabetes - the thinking person's disease"
You might find other examples in the comments to my blog post about http://www.bernardfarrell.com/blog/2007/07/diabetes-attitude.htm" REL="nofollow">Diabetes Attitude. One from that list that I liked was
"Diabetes is a blood sport"
Good luck on the walk. I hope you have a blast.
Here's another:
I'm walking for a cure and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Sorry G-Money - that's the best I got right now. And the fact I didn't come up with it myself (Zazzy rocks) makes it even worse.
If I think of anything a little more "G" rated, I'll let you know.
