Just a thought - depends what message you want (One of my pet peeves revolves around people's ideas that diabetics aren't normal or healthy and will develop complications no matter what). Good luck though, it's a great idea!

Thank's for your Input Jen. I want viewers to understand the seriousness of the disease but there will definetely be the normal and excelling individuals. This will be shown that anyone can be Diabetic and you probably see a diabetic everyday without even noticing. I am also going to go to the Tour De Cure Bicycle race that involves many diabetics whom ride in a bicycle tour that is over 200 miles over 2 days to raise money for researce and also the Walk to Cure which I am sure many of you have participated in [Hopefully ]
