I think awareness of diabetes is deficient. Too many people assume it's something that's always caused by too much sugar and being overweight.
I also think that an Eliot win would encourage diabetics to excel at stuff and not cut corners on the things they need to do to stay healthy.
My six year old has type 1 diabetes. He goes to bed before AI comes on, but every Wed. morning I tell him how great Elliot was. He thinks it's so cool! :)
Like Patti LaBelle's public service announcement, or whatever that is?
