Has your life been touched by diabetes?

POSTED BY: Monica Reinagel, M.S., LD/N | September 20, 2007 | 1:42 PM

I recently got a note from a spokesperson for InspiredbyDiabetes.com, a global campaign designed to bring diabetes to the world’s attention.  The site is sponsoring a Creative Expression Competition, which invites anyone who has been touched by the disease to share his or her story through some sort of artistic work. 

A $5000 contribution to charity will be made in the name of the Grand Prize winners, who will also win a trip to an Inspired by Diabetes art exhibition.  More details about the campaign and contest (which is underwritten by the pharmaceutical company, Lilly) are found here:

Just email me your address and I can send you some information and an order form. My wife and I have been drinking MV for about three months now and never felt better.

I've also heard about the benefits for biabetics and other health problems.

I am using this product (Monavie) and I was able to cancel knee surgery because my cartilage is improving. Also, I have heart disease and my blood pressure is reducing even more (I'm still on my meds).

I would be have to have folks obtain the Monavie through me if they wish.

A family we know has a diabetic daughter who was on insulin. They tried a fruit juice called Monavie and currently their daughter's insulin intake has been reduced by 75%. This juice is made up of 19 fruits including the Acai berry from Brazil.The Acai Berry’s low glycemic index improves glucose and lipid levels in diabetics. Also in diabetics, weak capillaries can lead to a condition called retinopathy, which often leads to blindness. The Acai berry helps to protect capillaries. The anythocyanins an the acai berry protect small and large vessels, including veins, arteries and capillaries.Learn more: http://www.mymonavie.com/richardfamily
