Ipad Users: You will not be able to upload images with an ipad. Ipads do not have general website image uploading capability. Please upload your image from a different device.
Image Viewing Disclaimer: Diabetes leads to many complicated and uncomfortable feelings, and one of the primary goals of Diabetes Art Day is to encourage people to express those feelings. There are a few pieces of art that might be offensive to some viewers or inappropriate for children. I recommend previewing the images without your children. For images that you do not want your child to see, you can scroll above or below the image, and then view the art in slideshow format by clicking on an image, although I suggest you take note of the image number you are trying to avoid. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, and I hope it does not dissuade you from viewing or sharing the art. I equate censoring artwork with invalidating someone’s experience with diabetes, and this is not in the spirit of Diabetes Art Day. I appreciate your understanding, and welcome questions or feedback regarding this policy.

I have no way of tracing images back to the artist, but if you have identified yourself in your image description, I will make an effort to direct interested parties to you. I will never take credit for art I did not make. Use of images, giving credit to the artist as identified in the submitted description, will be limited to the promotion of Diabetes Art Day, or to raising awareness about diabetes and the Diabetes Online Community.

Thank you so much for keeping this going, it is such a great way to show the connection we all have. Last year I submitted a piece, this year my daughter created her own to submit

Sorry! I accidentally posted mine twice. This is a great project though. I always turn to art to express myself about diabetes.
Well, I “thunk” I got it posted – after making it smaller – if not – you can view it a the forum page of Diabetes1.org where I posted it. I’m even having difficulties at my own website – yikes – I’m jinxed today. The other safe place to view this is on my FB page – The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes \\^,,^//

First time I’ve heard about this. Good to know as a diabetic artist.
Awesome Idea – For my 7 year old son and all children with Type 1 Diabetes for AWARENESS, Lets find a CURE!!!
Thank you so much Lee Ann! I just attempted to upload the artwork of PWD Sara Krugman from our post today:

Hope it went through.
Yours,

What a lovely idea. My little girl has been in hospital with ketoacidosis, and this has been great for her to do – thank you!

This is my first time participating in Diabetes Art Day and I am enjoying looking at the artwork of others with diabetes.
I stumbled on your site, love it!!! Can’t wait to upload my art
I wasn’t sure if the upload worked the first time, so you may find two identical images with the same description (but different file names). The third upload is a view showing the side details of my project. I think the next time I do a DArt Day project in cake, I need to arrange some time for it to be, er, “inspected” in person by our local D community…

Someone talked about waking up with a “surreal blood glucose reading,” and I just thought about Salvador Dali’s classic surreal painting, “The Persistence of Memory.” When I looked at the painting, the weird form in the foreground is strangely pancreas-shaped. Then, the trees looked like syringes and lancets, and the board-shaped object became a test strip. That is me a few days after diagnosis in the left corner, and I would not be alive today if it were not for Banting, Best, and the rarely discussed dog Marjorie. Finally, when I was diagnosed in 1971, I got to use Benedict’s solution (which would become Clinitest) to test my urine. This is really my love letter to art history and type 1 diabetes!
I made this on the realization that our hands are like the needles that we prick them with; someday to be senseless and yet full of pain. I wanted to convey how this hand is just like our hand… I am very proud of this and I am now inspired to make more artwork about the life of diabetes and what we fight through everyday.
