World Diabetes Day and the Big Blue Test 2011



Okay, so when I reminded the kids this weekend that Monday was World Diabetes Day, they totally wanted to do something in honor of the day.

(Pretty cool, yes?)

So of course we opted to do the Big Blue Test.

Why?

Because each and every time any one of us does the Big Blue Test and submits our results, we help raise $75,000 for organizations out there helping people with diabetes.

C'mon folks. It's easy.

(And if you can do it with someone you love, it's even easier.)

Yay! Terrific video. I wondered how Joseph was doing. I'm glad to see that he and your little girl look happy, healthy and strong. They are both so adorable. Happy World Diabetes Day!

I've missed them sooooo much.
Good grief, Joseph is a handsome young man.
And Evan - such a pretty young lady.
Loved seeing their smiles and enthusiasm.
Miss you, too!

Oh, Colleen -

Hoping that will change soon.

Sandra, your kids are growing so much. It's great to see them both active and healthy. Best wishes for the holidays, I'll be spending Christmas at home, taking a long week off.

Have a wonderful 2012!

Good afternoon,

I am presently doing my dissertation, in the context of the Master's Degree in Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering of Porto - Portugal, in the area of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1.

My interest in this disease appears when my boyfriend was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was diagnosed and later also my cousin.

Thus, arises the interest to do my dissertation on medical devices used in controlling diabetes. The purpose of this dissertation is to perform a new device is noninvasive and allows a greater affection and connection with the diabetic as well as better control of the disease.

It is essential to the views of type 1 diabetics to understand their needs, preferences and frustrations were carried out two questionnaires, one aimed at adults and adolescents and the other addressed to children (parents can help answer).

Questionnaire on Medical Devices used in the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus - Directed at Diabetics type 1 (Adolescents and Adults). For the filling, go to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDR6d0FyeXl3ODFFT0lUcUJVM24xekE6MQ

Questionnaire on Medical Devices used in the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus – Directed at Diabetics type I (Children). For the filling, go to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGFBalduZ2RydGEyMkZHWWRFdHFVM0E6MQ

I found your blog and thought it would be a good way of divulgation. So, I wonder if it could be possible.

Thank you for your attention.
Best regards.
