Hug Time!

Thursday, November 11th, is National Hug-a-Diabetic Day!!! Take a few moments on this Thursday to think of the daily life diabetics live and pray for a cure! Some would even say to place a rubber band on your wrist and set a timer for every 2 hours. Every 2 hours snap the rubber band to feel the twinge of pain diabetics feel when they prick their fingers every two hours. And, at each meal and bedtime snap it three times to mimic the feeling of an insulin shot. Think about how every two hours you would need to eat even if you weren't hungry. Think about how in between the two hours you might not be able to eat or drink even if you are hungry. And, a real eye-opener (pun intended), set your alarm clock for 2:00 am and snap the rubber band to remind yourself of the middle of the night finger pricks. Send lots of hugs to anyone you know on this day that suffers from diabetes. Don't forget, too, to send support and hugs to the mommies, daddies, and other caregivers! They are up at 2:00 am as well!
