It is really great to see the diabetes community getting together like this and having fun with this neat idea. Looks like there was an endless stream of ideas and submissions – really inspiring to see! It’s good to get to know other diabetics out there and be inspired by their creativity and hopefulness.
The more fun events like this we have, the better. It is very needed sometimes to take a step back and get away from the stresses and challenges of this disease.

i got my first tattoo today, and entered a picture of it as one of my D-Art day projects. it is my permanent “art”. i love it! the other entry is a picture i made using pump and testing stuff, basically the same idea as my permanent “art” tattoo. thanks for this!
My art was made using my sons, my camera, and my computer as supplies. I hope you like my photographic images of diabetes.

I didn’t ID myself in my art, either… but I made the post with the lady juggling food, medicine, exercise, etc, around a blue circle. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/299895_10150283172008691_735928690_8119013_955926_n.jpg
My art supplies include my three sons, two of whom have T1D, my camera, and my computer. I hope you like my creative diabetes related images!!
Here’s to finding a cure soon!!!
Thank you Lee Ann! Diabetes Art Day is the THE BEST!!!

Oops! I replied to a compliment about Prickly, but I’m Pricker Plant. We were both thinking of all those prickers I guess. Sorry about that!
I had so much fun participating in Diabetes Art Day again this year. I’ve uploaded the picture of my diabetes necklace, but you can read more about the meaning and inspiration here: http://www.bittersweetdiabetes.com/2011/09/diabetes-art-day.html

The words in top are the “good” things about the disease, while the words on the bottom are the things that bring me down. It made me happy that it was easier to fill the top if the page.
The Big & Small of Diabetes (Diabetes Art Day 2011)

Can we rate these somehow? I have so many favorites!
Here’s my Diabetes Art Day mixed media project.
How does diabetes effect my life?
It’s a common link in some of my best friendships and the reason we met.
It’s a whole lot of math whenever I eat.
It’s constant testing and monitoring.
It’s an annual diaversary double chocolate cupcake and celebration of yet another year of successful management.
The blue circle is the International Diabetes Federation symbol for diabetes. To me, it’s the circle of friendship, support, advocacy, and education that I’ve received and in turn, I hope I provide to the next person joining us on this journey.
Thanks for doing this and giving us all a forum to share!
Diabetes takes flight in the back of a Blackhawk Helicopter!! YES, we CAN do whatever we put our minds to!
I am not the most artistic person in the world, but I tried!

Thank you Lee Ann! Here is the post about our diabetes art today:

An error message appears when I try to upload the images to this website. It says they are too large (?) Not sure of they made it through. Will try again later. Thanks.
I think my artwork got posted here – I also posted a bigger version (to see the detail) – Facebook since Diabetes1.org where I also posted it – only allows a small jpeg to be posted – http://www.diabetes1.org/blogs/Annas_Blog/2nd_Annual_Diabetes_Art_Day_September_1st . I haven’t managed to go thru’ all the pages here yet. Mine was made up of a few bits ‘n bobs from my diabetic supplies. I had fun doing this – like I did last year! Can’t wait for next year!
Wow, some of these entries are sooo good. I have a few favorites, one being the illustration of the little girl eating the apple and her teddy on the floor – that one tell a story.
here’s my diabetes art day post! http://jess-meandd.blogspot.com/2011/09/both-sides.html
will have to upload the photo when i get home tonight. thanks, leann!

Here is my blog post about my art!

My artwork was made out of odds and ends paper, just like a day with diabetes, the odds and ends are insulin, meals, snacks, highs, lows, mood swings and they all come together in a day to live healthy.

Currently wondering whether to push for pumping, or try to perfect my (already pretty decent) MDI.

I love the one called “prickly”.
I posted my artwork here as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alies-Folk-Art/255054662767
Thanks! My son and huband both have type-1 diabetes. I was inspired by a dandelion wish weed, all the “practice” we’ve had during the years, and beauty of nature (looking for beauty in unexpected places). Enjoy!
I didn’t ID myself in my submission either – Pink would be me – I used color pop to make my pink meter pop out. Looking forward to seeing many many more entries in the next week or so.
After I made my submission, I realized I didn’t ID myself in the description. I am the perpetrator of “Atlas Drugged”.
Yousif Devlin- that is beautiful designed. Love it!
This may not be in the ‘art’ category but it is in the ‘design’ category. Here is a product I designed that helps diabetics who use insulin pens!

I designed my own tattoo that reflects diabetes without the word ‘diabetes’ written on it. The blood drop on the top get dropped into the strip and blood fills up the medical symbol.
