Type 2 diabetes: a patient who asked her doctor to put her on insulin

Written by

A very interesting interview with Ms. Annemarie Bevers, from the Dutch Diabetes Association (and also member of the Board of the International Diabetes Federation), where she shares the story of how she went from taking oral medication alone to taking a combination therapy of oral meds and insulin injections.

#BigBlueTest diabetes grantee: Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Written by

http://BigBlueTest.org is a program of the Diabetes Hands Foundation: http://diabeteshandsfoundation.org

iPhone app: http://itun.es/us/E7WbI.i

Between Oct. 14 and Nov. 14, 2013 do the #BigBlueTest. Help yourself. Help others. Join the movement at http://bigbluetest.org

Each entry will be matched by a life-saving donation to groups that help people with diabetes in need get insulin and other diabetes supplies they need to live. One of these groups was the Moundville Medical Clinic, near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, c/o Auburn University Harrison School of Pharmacy. They received a $10,000 Big Blue Test grant in 2011.

Over 40,000 people have done the Big Blue Test since 2010. When you participate in the Big Blue Test, not only do you experience a 20% average drop in blood sugar, but a donation is made by the program sponsor to help others around the world with diabetes in need.

The Big Blue Test encourages people with diabetes to test their blood sugar, exercise for 14-20 minutes, test again and share their experience on BigBlueTest.org. For every test, people with diabetes in need receive life-saving supplies through Big Blue Test grants that are awarded to humanitarian diabetes charities in the US and around the world, made possible thanks to the program sponsor.
