With December 1st comes the close of Diabetes Awareness Month 2014. This year there were a lot of great initiatives going on: Big Blue Test, Smash Diabetes, WDD Twitter Marathon, and the #Insulin4All campaign… just to name a few!
For our part, we ran our third World Diabetes Day Photo Scavenger Hunt event. This year, we had an astounding 80 groups from around the world sign up to participate! We couldn’t think of a better way to close out Diabetes Awareness Month than to share some our favourite photos submitted online for this year’s WDD Photo Scavenger Hunt:
#50- A work of chalk art to celebrate World Diabetes Day
#40- Favourite low blood glucose treatment
#35- Teammate demonstrating proper injection site rotation (Check out this sweet video on lipohypertrophy and why it’s important to rotate your injection sites!)
#12- Entire team with a nurse or doctor giving the thumbs up!
#41- A blue cupcake
#33- Teammates holding up 5 food labels

Thank you to everyone that participated in this year’s World Diabetes Day Photo Scavenger Hunt! We look forward to seeing you again next year, and hope that the event will be even bigger in 2015!
Also, a HUGE THANK YOU to this year’s event sponsor, BD Canada… who not only financially supported the event, but have several teams participate this year!
