I'm Aware!

Today marks the beginning of National Diabetes Awareness Month. 

If you are reading this blog than you are probably pretty aware of diabetes. Diabetes has a way of making sure you pay attention to it, either sooner or later. It can be devistating while being sneaky.

Sneaky in the way you sometimes feel like you have it figured out. Like this combo of food and medicine works well and I know my blood sugar will stay in WAIT A SECOND, everything changed and I'm a mess.

That is the awareness many of us with diabetes face daily.

So this month I want to make you aware of something closly related to diabetes but not Diabetes. That is what my Facebook posts are for. No, I want to make you aware of people who I have met online or in person because of our connection to diabetes. 

Each day for the month of November I am going to write a post about a person with diabetes. Not my favorite 30 people diabetes, or my best D friends, this is just a group of 30 people that I want you to be aware of and know.

I am blessed with a lot of people in my life and I am also blessed with the abilty to love them all very much. That said, if I did this kind of thing for an entire year I would miss people I love so this list is just 29 (skipping today for the intro) I picked out for one reason or another. 

Hopefully you will get to know some people you may not know or get to know some people better than you know them.
