Photo Project - Diabetes at Home!
Apparently there's a photo project currently underway. It runs from September 17th through September 23rd and it's organized by the same people who brought you the best-selling A Day in the Life and America 24/7 books.It's actually called America at Home. But I thought, why not make part of it be Diabetes at Home?
After all there are a lot of Americans living 24 by 7 with diabetes. And it impacts our lives from the moment we get up in the morning till after we fall asleep at night.
Check out the project web site, including the daily assignments page. And to enter your photos, you need to load them on the project submission page.
Thursday is Dinner Time. Maybe you can cover how you test your blood sugar and bolus before dinner to cover the meal.
And this Sunday is Bedtime Rituals. How about set changes, or making sure you can hear the CGM alarm if it goes off at night for one of your children, or night-time testing while your kids are asleep?
Also, any day you like you can just submit general photos. Maybe show how we all live normal lives despite what we drag along with us because of diabetes. And I'm not just talking about supplies here.
Please submit quality photographs that are likely to be considered for the book. I've also created a Flickr group, Diabetes at Home, where you can also upload your entries for all to see.
Maybe we'll have a real competition there, let me know what you think about that idea.
Sorry for not noticing this sooner. What are you waiting for? Get shooting.

Bernard, thanks for sharing this. What a neat project. I loved your suggestions, too; a great way to raise awareness & participate in a creative activity!
Coming back to this blog and look what I found..it's wonderful..I really enjoy this article, thank you for sharing.
There was a online book that was recently published which contained photos of people living with Type I diabetes. It was the usual photos of children/adults testing, giving themselves injections, etc.
I suggested to the author to include photos of Type I's at the dialysis unit, photos of the graves of Type I's, photos of the final results of Type I.......death. Of course she refused.
