The Big Blue Test

This is basically a whole pile of people with diabetes testing their blood sugar at the same time and then posting the results.

Well this Saturday, November 14th, is World Diabetes Day. And as part of celebrating that day, the fine folks at TuDiabetes are holding The Big Blue Test. (What the heck is the Big Blue Test? Why I'll tell you how to participate right ... now ...)

Participating in this event to raise diabetes awareness on November 14 is easy:


1. At 2 pm (your local time), test your blood sugar.

2. Run, jog, walk the dog or do anything you’d normally do as part of your exercise routine for 14 minutes.

3. Test your blood sugar again.

4. If you are a member of TuDiabetes click on the home page banner and share your readings and what exercise you did between them. If you have a camera, you can also add a photo of your reading(s) or you exercising.

5. If you have a Twitter account, post your readings on Twitter (use the #bigblue hashtag) and link back to:
