DeAnn's Personal Page

I am, once again, walking in the Juvenile Diabetes Research foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes.  As you know, i am a diabetes educator at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  i work with children and adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.  I am so excited about the advances in diabetes care that have been funded by JDRF.  These advances help to make life with type 1 diabetes less difficult.  The way to really improve the lives of these people is to find a CURE;  and that will come with continued funding for research from the government, but most especially from caring people like you.  

I am asking for your support.  Please donate to my fundraising efforts.  By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes.

Did you know that:

• T1D is an autoimmune disease that comes on suddenly and strikes both children and adults at any age?
• T1D has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle?
• Those living with T1D must carefully balance insulin doses with eating and daily activities throughout the day and night?
• Those living with T1D must test their blood sugar by pricking their fingers for blood 6 or more times a day?

As the leader of the type 1 diabetes community, JDRF unifies global efforts to cure, treat and prevent T1D.  JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered.  Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?

Thank you for your support!
