Having just returned from Disney World a few weeks ago, I can really relate to this month’s DSMA Blog Carnival topic: Disney just gave you funding to create a character with diabetes. What type of character would you create? What would you want your character’s message to be for adults and children living with diabetes?
I have to admit I’m not really one for coming up with characters or such for diabetes, but since it is the start of DSMA‘s third year, and since we share the same anniversary (I started my blog in February of 2011 too) I will play along.
The Diabetes Dude is directly related to Buzz Lightyear (cousins maybe?). He can travel through space and time. In fact, he is happy to transport people with diabetes directly to Disney World (or Disneyland) whenever they want! He has a cosmic blaster, which can zap all calories out of any tasty treat, rendering them carb-free, yet delicious! Finally, he has the first-ever, truly 100% non-invasive blood glucose monitoring device. I’m not allowed to reveal what it looks like or how it works, but it’s pretty amazing.
I have to go!!
