Q: Diabetes, I have got my walk letter wrote out, Where can i find a sample thank you letter for supporting JDRF?
I ‘m lookin for a sample of a letter that someone else has wrote saying thank you for your support and donations in finding a cure for juvenile diabetes.The sample letters for the fundraiser page helped me a lot but i can’t find a thank you one……….. Thanks

A: Tiredness can be a symptom of diabetes but is very non specific.
Your age and being overweight does increase your risk
Often a person in your age group will present with infections -commonly thrush/monilia as a vaginitis.. you can also present with a heart attack or stroke as a complication of diabetes. 1% of the population are diabetics another 1% are undiagnosed

The easiest way to set your mind at rest is to see your doctor for a blood/urine test.

Q: What should I include in my letter to ask friends and family to support jdrf by send money?
im raising money for my juvenile diabetes walk team. im sending out letters to my friends and family asking for donations. i dont want it to sound pushy and i also dont want to sound pathetic when telling about the struggles of living with diabetes every day… any suggestions?

A: Your Juvenile Diabetes Walk Team needs to have a meeting to decide on a format to use when sending out these letters, since others besides you will be asking for donations.

There also may be information, including a “sample” letter, in the information that the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation sent your team.

This is a page from their website that might also give you some ideas on what to put in a letter. People like to read statistics when they’re being asked to give money: http://ride.jdrf.org/whyride.html

The JDRF “Get Involved” page also has good ideas. http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=100673

http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=102585

Mention:

1. How many children have diabetes? Every year 13,000 children are diagnosed with diabetes. That’s 35 children a day.
2. What does diabetes do to children? It makes them dependent on insulin for the rest of their lives. It needs constant attention and can cause devastating health problems to every organ in the body.
3. What does JDRF do? The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
4. What will JDRF do with my donation? Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1 billion to diabetes research.

People like to read facts, and they like to know other people are donating, and they like to know what’s going to be done with their donation.

Hope this helps!

Q: walk to cure diabetes…?
I am a Juvenile Diabetec doing a Walk to Cure Diabetes.
I am trying to reach my team goal and i have had family members help donate, and a few friends buy some blue wristbands…but i am not close.

but if anyone wants to help it would be greatly appreciated by a LOT of people…
if 10 people donated 50 cents, i’d be 5 dollars closer to my goal! ill take anything…a penny, nickel, dime, dollar, 20 dollars..whatever!

go to this site for proof that im not a fake.. thanks!
http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=86518017

first one to donate gets 10 points? haha…
so my question is…will you please help?

A: Fourteen hours ago and you notice why people haven’t been answering your question. Generally, people are good; deep down, but when you put money into the equation, no matter what the cause. Over the Internet donateering isn’t as useful a tool as one might think. Words of encouragement and probably the only real answer to your question, good luck and what a wonderful cause to walk for.

Q: JDRF walk team name?
My friends and I are going on the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) walk for community service hours, and we need to have a team name. All of us are kinda stumped. BTW- we were thinking about naming the team after our friend Katie who is diabetic. Thank you in advance!

A: How about Katie’s Clan? Although Clan doesn’t start with a ‘k’ it does have the same sound.

Q: Does she have diabetes?
I wanted to know if Kristen Stewart has diabetes. She was at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk To Cure Diabetes in LA this weekend and I was wondering if she actually has diabetes or if she simply was promoting herself for New Moon (coming out next week).

A: No it is NOT a publicity ploy.
She’s involved with that foundation since she was 12.
She portrayed a suffering diabetic in her movie with Jodie Foster (Panic Room).
She was also involved with Security On Campus PSA for rape victims,bcoz she was trumatized 14-year old rape victim in “Speak”,her best performace so far.

Q: I need to find a good t-shirt company in the Dallas, TX area?
I am participating in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk for a Cure in September and want to get t-shirts made for my team. I will only need around 10 shirts. Can anyone recommend a good t-shirt company that doesn’t require me to buy a million shirts?

A: You can try Tees and Things-
Proprietor: Hawk (Rex) and Chris Smith
Telephone: (972) 671-3944
Location: 1806 Longmont, Richardson, Texas
Be sure to call for an appointment, they work from home

Q: What do you think of my letter to friends and family asking for jdrf donations?
Dear Friends and Family,

On Saturday, October 20th, I will be walking in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with my church youth group, friends and family. As you may know I have juvenile diabetes and I am insulin dependant. As a result my life is far from normal. My daily routine is on a constant schedule in order to stay healthy. I check my blood sugar 5 to 8 times a day and I’m constantly pumping insulin through my pump site which I change every 2-3 days. This equates to approximately 2,920 finger sticks and 183 pump site changes every year. Since I have been diagnosed, I have poked my finger over 9,592,200 times, taken 7,300 shots, and inserted insulin pump sites 1,278 times. And this will continue for the rest of my life unless a cure is found.

I am the only one in my family with type 1 diabetes. Most people don’t know that it can strike any family and that you can never “grow out of it”. I will be insulin dependant for life. Every day I put great effort into doing things I do not want to do and hoping I do not develop the complications associated with diabetes. You see, the longer I have diabetes the more likely I am to develop complications such as kidney disease, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and nerve damage leading to amputation. Even if I do everything I am supposed to, I can still develop these complications. A cure is the only way out.

My team has come together to set a goal of $1,000 and we would like to ask for your support by sending a tax-deductible contribution to us that we can submit to JDRF on that day. Please help me and the millions of other kids fight diabetes and find a cure.

JDRF gives more resources to diabetes research than any nonprofit, nongovernmental organization in the world. Over 80% of every dollar raised by JDRF is channeled directly into research efforts. Since 1970, they have provided over $900 million to diabetes research.

Please support us by making your check payable to “JDRF” and mail it to my address by October 19th. Thank you for your donations and words of support. We are very grateful!!!

A: I wish I had more thumbs so I could put them all up. It was compelling, emotive and tax deductible

I am sending mental spring for your legs
Good Luck (c;

Q: My son is 14—juvenile diabetes?
My son is 14. Has recently began wetting the bed. My husband (not his biological father) is diabetic. I checked my sons’ glucose level and it was 270. I called my Ped. to let them know, and also told them about his wetting the bed. They had us go to the lab the next AM for bloodwork. His triglycerides and his cholesterol are very high. And his fasting blood sugar was 117. (they said a bit elevated for his age) Today he got off the bus and was walking around dazed almost. I checked his glucose and he was 60. I had him eat a snack size (The small bags you might get from trick or treating) of sweet tarts. He ate that bag. An hour later, we checked it again and it was at 272. I bought keytone strips and checked that, there was a trace. Ped. has ordered an A1C and a repeat of all bloodwork done yesterday. (we do that in the AM) What would cause a 14 year old childs triglycerides and cholesterol to be so high. (his cholesterol was 220!) He is not overweight.
We do have a history of heart disease in our family, along with diabetes. Is it normal for his blood sugar to go from 60 to 272 in just an hour? That seems very extreme to me. Also, sometimes his glucose can be normal, and other times it is in the 200’s. Is this typical for juvenile diabetes? And does what would the triglycerides have to do with this? I’m scared to death…and am not waiting so patiently till Monday to find out results…… His reg. Ped was not in the office and the nurse told me she would call me on Mon to discuss. After his blood sugar was so low and then really high, I called back and asked another Ped to look at it. Thats when he called back and wanted a repeat of all bloodwork. I aksed what the A1C was and they had not ordered one. But will do one tomorrow morning when we go into the lab. Should I be concerned with my Pediatric group? I know I’m full of questions. But I’m clueless and scared here! Please, any advice is appreciated!
There were not only a couple high glucose tests! There were 2-4 a day ABOVE 200 over a 6 day period! (And these were 2 hours after eating OR fasting!) with the ONLY exception being that I took it an hour after him eating to raise his glucose. And the only reason I did that was to make sure it wasn’t still low.
SInce I’ve discovered his high glucose levels, I’ve monitored his carbs and his sweets. (Until I know, he is on the same foods and diets as my husband who is also diabetic!) HE IS NOT overweight! Even when he eats proper foods, his blood sugar is all over the map! (Lowest being 60 highest being 303)
He is a very active 14 year old child. Skateboarding, roller blading, bike riding…occational gamer and movie buff. He doesn’t always eat the proper foods. Especially when I’m not around, but he is an AVERAGE 14 yr old.
Hubby is type 2! His glucose is easily controlled by his diet and excersice routine. (If he eats extra carbs or anything sweet, I know immediatly! lol) His Doc said this is classic type 2.

A: Your son is diabetic and needs the assisitance of a doctor who has all the knowlege there is to be had about this disease. Get a referral to a pediatric endocrinologist
His triglycerides are so high because he is a diabetic that is not under adequate control. Try a piece of fruit with a slice of cheese if he goes low again. I think I would be standing on that pediatricians desk myself . he isn’t being proactive enough to suit me .
