Diabetes

Anyone who's followed me for any length of time might recall I'm a big supporter of diabetes research. I'm donating 15% of my royalties for EDGE OF SURVIVAL to diabetes research and this month (OCTOBER 2012) I'm canvassing our street for donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association (yes, I waited for the summer to finish before I started LOL).
And just to bring home how this can affect anyone, this summer my dad was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. I'm pretty sure he can manage it with diet, but the need to find a cure (especially for type 1) and prevention (for type 2) has never been more important.
