It’s one a.m. and you’re standing in a line that wraps all the way around the outside of that pricey department store. It feels like it’s about twenty degrees, and you’re silently willing the line to move faster, just hoping that by the time you make it into the store that one really cool item that you just have to have for that certain someone is still in stock.

5 Things EVERYONE Can Do to Support Diabetes Awareness

Lauren’s Hope has always supported diabetes research, awareness, and hope for a cure. We’ve featured blog posts about diabetes, giving helpful hints and stories of hope for those courageous souls living with this condition. Now, we are asking all of our friends and customers –whether they have diabetes or not – to take just a few moments to learn what they can do to support diabetes research, awareness, and hope for a cure, too.

Eighteen months ago, our customer Colette went out to eat with her family at a Fondue restaurant. What started out as a celebration dinner quickly turned into a frightening situation when she woke up early the next morning with hives and a swollen tongue and lips.

It’s the drama of a black and white film, the nostalgia of a black and white photograph, the elegance of a black and white suit. It’s the contrast of day and night, the balance between good and bad, the cleanliness and simplicity of black type on a white page. It’s whatever you want it to be; that’s the beauty of black and white.

There are approximately 25 million people with diabetes living in the United States. While having a Diabetes emergency kit may not be something you think about often, having a few extra items stashed away in a safe place may mean the difference between life and death in the event of a natural disaster. Given the prevalence of major natural disasters around the country, there should also be enough diabetes supplies in your emergency kit to last at least three days. This should allow you to safely wait out the aftermath of an earthquake, hurricane or anything else that can impede your progress to your home or medical center.

Our first November Story of Hope is brought to you by a special customer of ours, Gracie and her mom, Laura. Gracie was diagnosed with diabetes in March of 2011
