"What's more important than our kids and our grandkids? The future generation? Diabetes is a hugh threat worldwide and we need to be sure that awareness is spread to all, especially those diagnosed with diabetes. Let's pray for a cure and for improved health care for every person. Thanks for your caring and your actions. Lawrenceville, GA"

"I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments of this petition. A cure can not be found fast enough. Awareness is key to attacking diabetes head on."

"Please help all those who are suffering a terrible illness; especially the children. We will support your efforts all the way. Together, this can be done!"

"I fully support this petition. Greater awareness is needed in order to educate and support research for a cure. Our chilren deserve no less than our best."

"I watch my 9 year old son struggle with type 1 diabetes every day. I can not count the number of times I have heard form people "Why waste money on finding a cure, you have insulin. Be happy with that." Insulin is not a cure! It is just one of the tools needed to survive everyday with type 1 diabetes. If we had a World Diabetic KID'Z Day we could help people understand what our kids go through and why we need a cure so badly."

"I dont know what its like to have diabetes and to be dependent on insulin shots but thats not how i would like to live the rest of my life. I think this is something that needs more attention."

"My friend Dustin is suffering from this terrible disease and he is the reason I signed today. I want to see a day where all Dustin has to worry about is being a great, kind, fun kid and not about his disease!! God bless you all for your efforts to bring relief to these special wonderfula nd deserving people!!
