It is too bad that such a large company such as Google has all these excuses for not supporting a cause like diabetes. I myself never thought much about it until my ten month old son was diagnosed in oct of 2007. I was surprised to find out how little support there is for this disease compared to other ones such as breast cancer and heart disease. i think that more needs to be done to let the world know what diabetes can do to a person, and that insulin, pills and glucometers are only a treatment and not a cure. Shame on Google for not stepping up to the plate on this one. Its pretty sad day when you have to pick a cause to support based on how much money is generated from searches or advertisement. To all those who help support diabetes research, I thank you.

all I can say is “shame on you google”
an opportunity to possibly save so many lives by creating awareness and they choose not to! Quirkiness- who cares about that, diabetes is awareness and the effects of diabetes far out weigh any quirkiness factor that would be needed!
Pathetic, that’s all I can say!

.. I was going to suggest that folks grab hold of the Google logo and have fun creating a “doodle” for WDD 2009. But then I realized that if you did, Google would sue the pants, skirt, and knickers off you.
.. So, do NOT open up your Adobe Photoshop or your Paint.net and make your own WDD doodle using the Google logo. Do not mess with the Google logo using Windows Paint or G.I.M.P. Don’t even think about taking Corel PaintShop to the Google logo and trying to make a fun and quirky doodle.
.. You have been warned! Now, please excuse me. My Paint.net is blinking down on my task bar and I must tend to it…

Dancing glucometers and insulin bottles, I can get behind. But I am an animal lover, and I think it’s morbid to have little pigs to remind us of those who supplied the first animal insulins. I am so glad there are rDNA insulins now.

I won’t take no for an answer… not yet, at least. Just posted this:

Perhaps, we could all begin doing Google searches for diabetes related topics, so it becomes a highly searched word that’s on the short list in time for 2009′s WDD.

What if the Doodle was accompanied by dancing bottles of insulin and glucometers? How’s that for quirky?

Hmm. Do you suppose we could combine diabetes with invention, such as the anniversary of the discovery of insulin?
