World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day (WDD) is the primary global awareness campaign of the diabetes world. It was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the alarming rise in diabetes around the world. In 2007, the United Nations marked the Day for the first time with the passage of the United Nations World Diabetes Day Resolution in December 2006, which made the existing World Diabetes Day an official United Nations World Health Day.

Abby: I hadda rough start this morning. I threw up, not once but twice and then Momma tried to get me to lap up some gravy and I wouldn't. She knows I LOVE gravy. She got a little worried and opened up a can of my favorite salmon and I decided I could try and get some of that down. In fact it tasted pretty good. She was happy and it made my tummie happy too. But I then I had to take care of "some business" and when Momma saw me running through the house like my butt was on fire, she knew I was OK. She even saw me play spider with piece of fluff on the floor. I like to play spider. I only have 4 legs but that's OK. I guess I worried too much about my Momma last night. Momma came back from the people Vet and they told her something that made her furry upset. She says she has die-ahh-beet-tees number 2. I purred all over her last night and tried to make her feel better. I hope that I succeeded because I don't like to know that my Momma is upset. That's OK Momma I will go on a diet with you. Daddy keeps saying I am wide load. I fink I will put the bitey on him next time he says that.
