Diabetes Advocacy Agenda For The Week: #DocasksFDA, #Vote4DM, #BigBueTest #WeAreInThisTogether, #WalkwithD

Last call to let the FDA hear your voice for #DOCasksFDA meeting on November 3rd

Personally, I'm all about letting the FDA hear my voice, my diabetes concerns and dreams,  so I took the following short survey created by the amazing folks at diatribe. www.diaTribe.org/survey. 

If you want your voice to be heard, TAKE THE SURVEY NOW. 

And if you'd like, you can also create a video expressing your #DOCasksFDA hopes and dreams.

Lots of folks have!

FTR: Google+ gave me a new youtube page & won't let me 

merge my old page with the new. SIGH.

Next up on the Advocacy agenda for this week: 

There are two  Tweet-ins scheduled on October 22 and 229th, both beginning at 8p.pm.

The Tweet-ins are all about the #Vote4DM campaign, targeting the folks on Congress (who work for us) that there are three diabetes bills that require their "YES" vote. 

To quote Bennet over at YDMV:

#BigBlueTest 

Today's the kickoff for #BigBlueTest. 

Each #BigBlueTest that you log between today and November 19th generates a $1 donation from the program sponsors (up to $35,000) and granted to nonprofit organizations  providing life-saving supplies/services to people with diabetes in need. 

By testing your blood sugar, exercising for 14 to 20 minutes and logging your results on Instagram, twitter of Facebook via the #bligbluetest hashtag, you not only help yourself, you helping others - And that's what it's all about!
