'Behind the Blue Scenes' Week ending 02/19/2012



Welcome to this week's edition of 'Behind the Blue Scenes', where we share with all of you, some of what goes on as The BHS grows.

As we celebrated our Happy 3 Month Birthday to the BHS! & Valentines Day we realized as we sat down to write this Post, that we had another BUSY & BLUETIFUL Week! 
We were entertained, to say the least, by Allen Tallbott & the Jive Creek Ramblers as they dedicated the "Blue Shoe Blues" to all of the BHS'ers (And some special love at the end of the Tune). How COOL is this!

We were very pleased to announce that Jen Hamilton Loving will be functioning in the critical role of our Chief Content Officer. Jen is very well known within the Diabetes Online Community, and has first hand experience with diabetes as her 11 years old daughter was dx'd Type 1 at the age of 4.  Jen currently works as the Chair of The Family Outreach at her local JDRF chapter & much more. You can read all about her here & find out how to contact Jen directly with any & all ideas you may have related to Content.  

We were humbled, honored, and blushing in BLUE, over the love shown by Sanofi US on the Article "How Grassroots Diabetes Efforts Support Community Growth" on the Discuss Diabetes™ Blog presented by Sanofi US, a leader in the discovery and development of innovative diabetes products, as part of their commitment to help improve the lives of people with diabetes. And as they state   "Blogging isn’t easy for a healthcare company"   and the BHS feels that Sanofi US is a LEADER in bridging the gap in Consumer relations, as demonstrated by Discuss Diabetes™ .

We are SO happy to announce that our very dear friend Lizmari M. Collazo, will be honoring all of us with a Guest Blog post from time to time, so stay tuned for that and make sure and visit her Blog where she is “Challenging the Status Quo of Living with Type 2 Diabetes“. You can also follow her journey as “The Angry Type 2 Diabetic” on Facebook .


We are very excited for Dr. Dyer a.k.a. The EndoGoddess, LLC as she will be going to the White House  to discuss diabetes in the Hispanic community at the National Hispanic Medical Association 16th Annual Conference. Read more about that on her Blog 

We close this week’s segment with THE most important part of why we do, what we do...YOU, our Bluetiful Peeps! Our Facebook Page is sporting some NEW additions, as we have been so graciously gifted full Versions, by the Developer, of what we are calling our “BHS Fan Marquee”   & “BHS Fan Of The Week", where we showcase some of what YOU are saying & doing as you interact with us on Facebook. If you or anyone you know have a Facebook Fan page, these are MUST have Apps for growing your Fan base & and MUCH more. Please visit them here & tell them that the BHS sent you!

Get ready for an EXCITING Week coming up & keep on being as BLUETIFUL as can be!
