Now through November 21, we want to see your most creative blue photo. This can be a blue painted picture, something built out of blue popsicle sticks, a fun and crazy blue outfit … anything you want!
Just take a picture of your best blue idea, then submit your photo entry to: photos@gotrybe.com
All pictures will be added to our GoTrybe Flickr page, but the most creative picture will be posted right here on our blog at the end of the contest for all Trybers to see!
World Diabetes Day was started to raise public awareness of diabetes and related complications, as well as its prevention and care. The logo is a blue circle, which symbolizes life, health and unity. Parents are encouraged to learn more about diabetes and to discuss topics and prevention with their children.

GoTrybe had an awesome day with a really fun pre-school class in Ohio, celebrating World Diabetes Day! You can see some of the pictures on the GoTrybe flickr site.
The class did an entire “blue” day … with blue finger painting, a blue story-time, blue snacks (with blueberry yogurt and baked blue corn chips) and then ran around outside with blue wind-socks, because it was such a beautiful day!
It was a perfect way to celebrate World Diabetes Day with young people. We even talked about the importance of eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise … because we don’t want to get sick and have to do blood tests everyday to make sure our bodies are working right!
How are you honoring World Diabetes Day? Tell us all about it …

A tiny correction to your article.
Insulin was discovered on July 30, 1921. November 14th 1891 is Fred Banting’s birthday.
