2nd Annual Diabetes Blog Week

Next week is the Second Annual Diabetes Blog Week. From May 9-15, diabetes bloggers across the web will be participating in this event organized by one of the blogs I have followed for some time, bittersweetdiabetes.com. I've been reading other people's blogs for several years now, and am excited to be able to participate now as a blogger.

Each day features a themed writing prompt, designed to show different perspectives on some common issues facing the diabetes community.

Here's a preview of what you'll see here next week:

• Monday, 5/9: Admiring our Differences
• The differences and similarities in the diabetes community - types, treatments, goals, etc.
• Tuesday, 5/10: Letter Writing Day
• Write a letter to someone/something involved in your d-life. It can be a doctor, your disease, parents, spouses, medical devices, etc.
• Wednesday, 5/11: Diabetes Bloopers
• Funny moments inspired by your screw-ups.
• Thursday, 5/12: Wild Card - Diabetes Art
• Step "outside the box" for creativity.
• Friday, 5/13: Awesome Things
• Great things you've done or learned since your diagnosis.
• Saturday, 5/14: Snapshots
• Photo day
• Sunday, 5/15: What We've Learned
• What have you learned from others in the diabetes community?

I hope you'll follow D-Blog Week with me, and also, please remember that next Sunday May 15 is the JDRF Walk for a Cure. Please give what you can for this great cause.
