For a Day

Normally, I don't post much about diabetes because who wants to read about that?  Even more normally, I ignore/trash pretty much anything and everything that I receive from JDRF or...anything regarding diabetes.  There is not enough time in the day for me as it is, and I SURE don't want to spend any extra giving that any more attention than it already demands.  But something did catch my eye...the Type One for a day challenge.  Apparently, there's a professional snowboarder who has had type one for 9 years, and you can text  T1D4aDay to 63566 to receive texts from this guy for one day just to see what one day is like in managing type one.  Everyone hears of it; very few have a clue as to even half of what you have to do to live with it in your life.  They're doing it to bring awareness to FIND A CURE.  If you'd like my honest opinion, I think there is already or could already be a cure in medicine...but it would never be released here because diabetes brings $11 million...or billion even... a year to our loving pharmaceutical company.  Would you take that pay cut?  Or would you rather get that nice paycheck in managing it?  Exactly.  So, I've never had hope in them because it was pretty easy to see how things work pretty quickly.  But maybe, if you so choose to do this, you can see why we need a HEALING more than ever.  Or at the very least, see why maybe I don't have time to blog.  Or call you back.  Or answer when you did call.  

 Here's the promo.

  (Make sure you have a texting plan if you do this...believe it or not some don't) because you will get about 45 texts.  But you can text "stop" at any time to stop them, and it's only for one day. Believe me, I wish I could just text stop.  I signed up just to see how accurate it was.  :) 

***UPDATE:  I did the challenge and thought it was stupid.  The goal was good, but I didn't think it was successful.   Sorry, I need to do my own based on my own day.
