November diabetes awareness month

American Diabetes Month® - American Diabetes Association

I wish I saw just as many gray ribbons this month as I saw of pink ribbons last month. But I have never seen one worn on someone.

Did you know diabetes had a ribbon?

Yup, we do and that's a gray one. For those who have lost their sight from this disease. But there is also a silver version. For hopes there will be a silver lining in our lives that comes by the way of a cure.

When I went to look for an image of our ribbon I could not find one. Instead it appears that gray now represents brain cancer as well. I know cancer is devastating. I am not here to belittle it. I just want you to know that diabetes is a killer, and it effects so many things. Just want to raise a little awareness.
