I haven’t been the best of bloggers… actually, I have been a VERY bad blogger. Last time I posted in here was nearly a month ago. But there’s a good reason for this. We’ve been VERY busy! We’ve been to New York, to Madrid and all over the place preparing for November, Diabetes Awareness Month.

With November, comes Big Blue Test, one of the most important diabetes awareness programs at the Diabetes Hands Foundation… I will tell you more about it in a few days, but for now, I wanted to share this preview video of the 4-episode series by HealthiNation about the work we do at Diabetes Hands Foundation. Hope you enjoy it!

Our diabetes networks go mobile!

Last month, we announced the launch of the EsTuDiabetes mobile application for iPhone and Android:

Today we’re announcing the launch of our TuDiabetes Mobile application for iPhone and Android:

And next month we will be launching the HealthSeeker mobile apps for iPhone and Android…

We’re very excited about being able to give “legs” to our networks, so that they can be taken on the road by all the people who can benefit from them!

How can $10 make a difference to people touched by diabetes?

In the past 14 days, we’ve raised just over $6,000. Today is the last day of our campaign to help us raise $10,000. Impossible? I don’t think so. Wanna know why? Because we count on you!

Maybe you have found comfort and support in TuDiabetes in days when you needed it most, while struggling with high blood sugars. Or you may have found information that has allowed you to better control your diabetes.

Whatever the case, if you are reading these lines, we hope you will think how TuDiabetes has helped YOU and translate that into a tax-deductible donation today.

If only 20% of the people who visit TuDiabetes any given day donate $10, we’ll reach our goal. You can donate $1 to $10 via Paypal or schedule a monthly or quarterly contribution.

If you can donate more than $10, that helps even more! All donations to the Diabetes Hands Foundation are eligible for very special thank you gifts.

So, please make a tax-deductible donation today to the Diabetes Hands Foundation, the nonprofit that runs TuDiabetes. You can also mail donations to: Diabetes Hands Foundation, P.O. Box 9421, Berkeley, CA 94709.

Thank you for your generous help!

Help Diabetes Hands Foundation reach its fundraising goal!

Between August 31, 2010 and Sept. 14, 2010, we are holding a fundraising campaign to benefit the Diabetes Hands Foundation, the nonprofit behind TuDiabetes.org.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the Diabetes Hands Foundation by September 14, 2010. All donations made are tax-deductible.


EsTuDiabetes: 3 Años Más Tarde

¡¡El 25 de Agosto, celebramos el tercer aniversario de la gran familia de EsTuDiabetes!!

Esta es la presentación a la cual se hace referencia durante el video:

THIS is how a low blood sugar feels!

darkness. is it? wait, no. am i? am i?
am i awake? am i? am i gonna die?
dumb tongue, tongue dumb. must wake. must wake.
my hhhand, my hhhand is shhhake, is shhhake
ing. gaah, lift my life up, out of this bed
confused, yep, check. and check, my aching head.
get fed, get fed, don’t trip, don’t slip, don’t fall
bed, floor, table, door, open drawer, race into the hall.
she sees me and knows a maniac is on the loose,
in the kitchen, 3am, doublefisting orange juice.
