Laila Ali is the spokesperson for the Kiss Diabetes Goodbye campaign, and if you have not participated in this yet, I highly recommend you do so!
Here’s the “Kiss Diabetes Goodbye” message from the ADA:
“During American Diabetes Month this November, help the American Diabetes Association raise $1 million to kiss diabetes goodbye. Fund researchers who are working toward a day without diabetes. Support diabetes education programs in communities across the country. Provide a voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes.”

If it’s one thing that really, really (REALLY) bugs me about diabetes, it’s the fact that people think you get it because you’re fat or you’re lazy or you’re out of shape. I think the sheer number of athletes that have gotten the disease should be an indication of how wrong that is, but some people are slow to “get it,” ya know?
I got Type 1 diabetes when I was in the best shape of my life. Here’s another story that will surprise you about who gets diabetes. Enjoy.
