Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for the really great post! This is such an important month given the number of lives that are touched by diabetes in the world today. With the estimated number of diabetics on the rise, it has never been a better time to provide new programs for diabetes prevention and management. I actually just finished writing a piece on Diabetes Awareness Month 2012 myself, which I think you may find interesting. It also includes some information on World Diabetes Day and you can check it out at: http://www.squidoo.com/diabetes-awareness-month-2012
