Better ‘n Eggs Fit2Fight Campaign -Type 2 Diabetes Isn’t So Sweet

All White
The Better ‘n Eggs Fit2Fight Campaign means a lot to me because Type 2 Diabetes has not only affected my family, but my husband’s as well. Both our fathers are affected by the disease, and now that we have a daughter, we are more concerned than ever about stopping this disease in its tracks and finding ways to control and prevent it. We want our daughter to have her grandfathers around for a long time, but we also don’t want her to have to suffer the ill effects of this disease herself. The Better ‘n Eggs Fit2Fight Campaign aims at doing just that.

Better n’ Eggs Fit2Fight Campaign

With November being National Diabetes Awareness Month, there is no better time to talk about this disease and how it can be prevented. I have watched my loved ones not take care of themselves despite suffering from Type 2 diabetes, and as a result their health has deteriorated drastically in only a few short years. That’s why the Better ‘n Eggs Fit2Fight Campaign is so important in raising awareness of this disease.

  2. This is a great blog with many useful info.
    Hi! I would like to join your campaign in fighting the epidemic of type 2 diabetes. I also lost a relative to diabetes about 22 years ago. Because of that experience I was drawn to natural healing to find ways to reverse type 2 diabetes, and as a way to pay it forward I have dedicated a website to Type 2 diabetes to help others find an alternative to dangerous diabetes drugs. My site is at: http://www.type-2-diabetes-symptoms-management.com

    I hope more bloggers would follow your lead & help increase public awareness about diabetes. Again, thank you!

  3. Yeah, Great to read this type of Diabetes Type 2 blog. I would love to view more and more type 2 diabetes treatment blogs with additional information.

    Have a nice day!
