Diabetes 365

I've been looking at the Diabetes 365 photos from other bloggers, such as Beth, who started the project, Bernard, who started the flickr group, Amylia, Jillian, Sara, Penny and all the others in the flickr pool.

And I've been inspired.

Initially I was going to wait to join the project until the madness of NaNoWriMo (currently at 21, 196 word) and NaBloPoMo.

But then I took this picture.

And I wanted it to be my first.

There is also a kind of neatness to starting and ending 365 on World Diabetes Day.

Speaking of neatness - I've been shamefully bad at using Flickr during the course of the last year. It started when I came back from two weeks in the Caribbean in January with far too many photos to edit and upload. Much like logging diabetes data, the longer you stay away from Flickring, the harder it is to go back! Especially if you're a little anal, like me, about having everything in the right order! I've actually made a start tonight on those Caribbean photos, but anyone looking at my    photostream will find it in something of a disorganised state!

I promise it's a work in progress

So to add to NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo we have Diabetes 365 and a major Flickr photostream update!

It'll be worthwhile in the long run.

And I truly believe the Diabetes 365 project could also be very worthwhile, in raising awareness of what it is like to live with diabetes every day of the year.
