“The Big Blue Test is a program of the Diabetes Hands Foundation (DHF) that encourages people with diabetes to test their blood sugar, exercise for 14-20 minutes, test again and share their experience on BigBlueTest.org. For every test, people with diabetes in need receive life-saving supplies through Big Blue Test grants that are awarded to humanitarian diabetes charities in the US and around the world, made possible thanks to the program sponsor.
“In 2012, Roche Diabetes Care, makers of ACCU-CHEK® diabetes products and services, sponsors Big Blue Test once again, to help us touch even more lives. Be part of the 20,000 people who will do the Big Blue Test this year.” ~ According to the DHF
This is a really wonderful and charitable project. I have been a regular participant in it and I’m hoping you will be as well.
Reap the benefits of exercise! According to the DHF, the average person sees a 20% drop in blood sugar levels after 14-20 minutes of exercise. Exercise not only releases endorphins (feel good hormones) but it helps lower your blood sugars, which will also improve the way you feel.
It’s an easy 3 step process: (Plus, $5 is donated every time you log a workout!!)
- Check your blood sugar
- Exercise
- Check your blood sugar again!
—>Visit bigbluetest.org after you exercise and answer some basic questions, it’s that simple!
Continue this every time you exercise through November 14th to help DHF reach their benchmark of 20,000 logs on their website. What does this equate to? Sponsors will donate $100,000 to help those in need with their diabetes care.
