I have diabetes. You should donate here, or to the JDRF, or some other group to find a cure. DiabetesSisters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and quality of life of women living with or at risk of developing diabetes, and to advocate on their behalf.

I once had a DiabetesSister who was there for me during some of the most difficult times of my life. . . and although she is no longer with us, her touch on my life made a difference forever. . . Your donation can make it possible for others to have a friend like mine. . . "In loving memory"

DiabetesSisters is an awesome organization that supports women who want to live well with diabetes. Joining the Sisterhood is a way for women who share common concerns and challenges to support each other and help improve the health and quality of life for all women with diabetes. If we are to survive and thrive we must come together. . . For as Margaret Wheatley says “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”

Diabetes is such a serious disease and affects people from all walks of life and all ages; the only way we can defeat diabetes is by education and research, hence the reason everyone needs to donate what they can to this cause!

WhooHoo, it was super easy to send show idea to Oprah! Great idea, and will help so many women with diabetes......can't wait to see what happens next!

I know firsthand how difficult puberty and pregnancy can be for a woman with diabetes and I want to make a difference! Sometimes, all we need is the positive support of someone else who is living with the disease...But, we MUST have a centralized location like DiabetesSisters to come and give/receive that kind of encouragement! Otherwise, we're all left to wander around alone in this big world....

Ive had T1 for 15.5 years (I'm the one to the left in this pic). Ive been blessed to be in good health, with great insurance and not have any diabetic complications. Yes, this can be debilitating, but awareness (especially for T1 because most dont know the difference between T2) is becoming more and more necessary.

I have had T2 since March 2009. No other person in my family has this so it wasnt heredetery. My first A1C was 11.3 my latest was 6.7. With Metformin and insulin and diet I am doing much better. I still hate it. I just bought a bracelet and it cost me over $50 just to get a basic one. I have no insurance so it is a very expensive disease that I cannot control without not paying something else. There ought to be a way to cure this or make it cheaper on us uninsured.
