Let's backtrack a bit, shall we?
Only a few months ago The Blue Heel Society was born. This is more than an excuse to rock a fab pair of Blue shoes (who needs an excuse, right!?), but a mission.
"The mission of The Blue Heel Society is to deliver a clear, united voice via organized assembly within our own affiliation, and also at local and national gatherings, events, conventions, and other venues, helping to dispel myths, offer education and to champion the needs of people affected by diabetes.
We choose to stand up, be seen, and be heard in our Blue Heels."
Each one of us live a different life, different form of Diabetes, Diabetes management, and views. Its up to us individually to advocate, and make Diabetes known, but to do so as a community.
United.
We are here.
Now listen.
Whether you're a person with Type 1, 2, LADA, gestational MODY or any other form of Diabetes, the parent of one of the above, caregiver, friend, endo, CDE, or someone who wants to get involved, your voice counts.
As do your feet.
So we want to know, what are you doing to spread awareness in your community?
Where did you wear your Blue shoes?
What is on your agenda in your hometown to bust some D myths and look fab while doing it?
We each have our own platform, from the housewife to the stockbrocker to the football player, each our own connections, circles, and therefore an individual avenue to advocate and spread awareness.
If we each take one (BLUE) step forward, the possibilities are endless......
So what will YOU do today?
