Leave Diabetes Out
Monday, October 3, 2011 at 1:28PM This disease demands a lot of our attention and all of our time! If you have diabetes, care for someone who does, or have anything to do with this disease than you know that we never seem to get a real break.
So this is one way we can.
Kind of.
No D-Day is a day when our online interactions avoid diabetes completely. Twitter, Blogs, Facebook, MySpace (lol), and anything else you can think of. Not a peep about that dumb disease. For one day.
The goal is to talk about different parts of our lives. Our hobbies, loves, talents, whatever! Every person I have ever met from the DOC is awesome because of who they are, not because of the disease that brought us together. We are more than a disease!
So lets take one day and share about other stuff in our lives. Let's learn more about one another all the while giving diabetes the silent treatment, not each other!
On Friday, October 7th use the #nodday hashtag and if you blog please go to ninjabetic.com/nodday2011 and add your link to the list so we can all learn more about each other.
Here is link to my No D-Day post from 2010 and a link to last years blogroll if you want some ideas.
So what do you think? Are you in? If so, grab that banner and add it to the top of your post Friday!

But... but... I will be in Kansas City hanging out with diabetes friends! How do I not write about that!!! :(
Ohh!! It's that time of year! I sang for the last two, but whatever will I do this year? Gotta get my thinking cap on...
Thanks for organizing this, George! I love No D Day!!
@Sara What better time to not mention the disease but mention all the other stuff! I think it will be easy! Heck that is the day I am meeting Simon!!! AWESOME!~
@Lee Ann I think a song is always appropriate.
New to DOC, this is a great idea. I love when life takes the front seat and I forget about diabetes. Even if it is being so busy I forget to take my after meal bs.
I'll plan on blogging a Non-D post. We'll have lots of friends coming in to town and we'll make sure to have some non-D fun to write about. Thanks NinjaB! Have fun with Simon. . don't wear him out!
WAHOO!!!!! NO D DAY :)
Can't wait!

I'm ready for no D day!! BRING IT!! Thank YOU:)
