Ways to Fight Diabetes

You're Not Alone! We're Forming an Army to Fight Diabetes.  You can join just by sharing your ideas. The most powerful weapons in the war against diabetes are information, awareness and money. The I Decide To Fight Diabetes campaign helps you attack the disease on all fronts. So go ahead. Stand up and fight. Begin by sharing your tips for managing and living with diabetes, ways to make it easier to live a healthier lifestyle, or ideas to raise awareness and raise funds for the fight. The best ideas will be displayed right here under the Weapons & Warriors and you’ll be credited for your submissions.

Together, we’re a force so strong, even diabetes can’t keep us down.

Here are some ideas to help get your creativity going:

• Organize a team for the Step Out to Fight Diabetes walk or Tour de Cure event in your school, community, or workplace.
• Plan a “Fight Diabetes” night at a local restaurant – a percentage of all sales can be donated to the I Decide To Fight Diabetes campaign.
• Recruit volunteers to hand out brochures on diabetes prevention/management at retirement communities.
• Host an ID Day.
• Have your kids’ soccer team play an exhibition game to raise money to “Kick Diabetes."
• Put I Decide To Fight Diabetes fliers under windshield wipers of cars in the parking lot of your local grocery store.
• Create an email signature that declares you’ve joined the fight against diabetes.
• Sign up to become a diabetes advocate.

Now it’s your turn. Please share your ideas for fighting diabetes.
