November is Diabetes awareness Month

submitted by Christine Kennedy | Nov 04, 2020

Blue is the universal colour!

No, it isn’t pink, itit doesn’t involve breast checks, or gootball players, or t-shirts with catch all phrases!

It’s about being grateful that you or your loved one wakes up in the morning. Its about the 3am blood sugar checks, the Low blood sugars, the needles, and or the meds.

It’s the smell of insulin on your hands after changing a pump site or filling a syringe. It’s learning how to cope with the depressing feeling that you are a pin cushion.

It is about learning the ‘good foods’, and how to cope well with Diabetes.

That for some, the reality of being diabetic can affect how people live it every day!

This year, Sydenham and District Lions Club have put a display with information in one of the windows at Memory Lane Flowers & Gifts who donated the space for this!

Check out the info, and pamphlets are available inside the flower shop!

We can all try our best to beat this!
