Ya’all know that November is right around the corner and it is Diabetes Awareness month. So what better way to show your love then proclaiming it with… a magnet. I found these cute JDRF magnets that say “I love a child with juvenile diabetes” and the proceeds go to help a JDRF walk team.
There are also diabetes awareness pins much like that in my logo above. There are also t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats to show your awareness of the disease that we live with each and every day.
Look for much more to come when we slide forward into the month of November. Maybe even a contest… Stay tuned.
There are also little pins of a blue circle, representing the International Diabetes Federation – Unite for Diabetes Campaign. I cut off the pin part and put the blue circle on my key chain! I like it very much used that way! Also check out the video link

and click on where it reads “watch streaming video”!
Many diabetics in the third world have no access to insulin!
Awesome, thanks Chrissie!
