2012 Big Blue Test: Join Elliott Yamin every day until World Diabetes Day

http://BigBlueTest.org is a program of the Diabetes Hands Foundation: http://diabeteshandsfoundation.org

Between Oct. 14 and Nov. 14, 2012 do the #BigBlueTest. Help yourself. Help others. Join the movement at http://bigbluetest.org

Join American Idol's Elliott Yamin, Amazing Race's Nat Strand, and many others who live with diabetes every day to reach 20,000 Big Blue Test entries this year.

Each entry = a $5 donation from Roche Diabetes Care, makers of ACCU-CHEK® diabetes products and services up to a total of $100,000.

Over 10,000 people have done the Big Blue Test so far since 2010. When you participate in the Big Blue Test, not only do you experience a 20% average drop in blood sugar, but a donation is made by the program sponsor to help others around the world with diabetes in need.

The Big Blue Test encourages people with diabetes to test their blood sugar, exercise for 14-20 minutes, test again and share their experience on BigBlueTest.org. For every test, people with diabetes in need receive life-saving supplies through Big Blue Test grants that are awarded to humanitarian diabetes charities in the US and around the world, made possible thanks to the program sponsor.

WOW BEST DIABETES PSA EVER! Do the test!!!! So what is the song?!?! I LOVE IT!!!

[DiabetesHands]

We agree! He, he!! ;)

The song is "Let's Go Home" by Carousel. You can click on the URL to their web site in the description below the video. Please join the movement and tell everyone you know to join in: people without diabetes can also help, by getting active for 14-20 minutes and logging their activity on the Big Blue Test web site (or soon through the app!) too.

Love the cause, love Elliott Yamin. Easiest test you'll ever take, and it'll make the biggest difference. #bigbluetest on twitter y'all.... peace!

[DiabetesHands]

Thanks, Darin!!! Peace to you too.

Love the program, the video and the music. I feel like doing the BBT while cheerleading, snowboarding, practicing yoga... all at the same time :)

Great job, guys!

[DiabetesHands]

Thanks so much, Carmen!! Thanks for all your support.

I look forward to this program every year! Even if you don't have diabetes, you likely have a friend or loved one who does. Show your support like I do: 1. exercise 14 min or more 2. Go to the site and log your participation. 3. Enjoy knowing that not only are you healthier, but someone else is getting life-saving supplies as a result of your small efforts.

I can't get enough of this video! It's really moving knowing that almost the whole cast is affected by diabetes. Looking forward to doing the test at least once a day, until World Diabetes Day - let

s go BiG!

If you're in Japan, be sure to catch Elliott on tour this month! His new album is amazing: "Let's Get to What's Real". It has completely reinvigorated my love of great soulful vocals and grooves. Be sure to register your results whenever you dance to it - cause, you know you will. ;)

1 person x 30 days x 5 dollars = $150 for charity. This enough to save many lives. Please, even if you don't have diabetes, participate.

Thanks, Carmen! You probably could do all of that at the same time!
