Persons with type 2 diabetes are not sloths who hide in their rooms and eat double bacon cheeseburgers. People who may have an eating disorder that hide when they are eating are also not sloths - but rather human beings who deserve support and understanding. Your video does nothing to empower anyone to make changes in behavior. In fact it will likely encourage children to hide the fact that they may have diabetes for fear of being viewed as that poor adolescent caught guiltily in his room by his mother. The double entendre was not funny at all in this instance - and has no purpose when referencing a very serious problem. <br /> <br />Your lack of understanding what empowers and motivates children and adolescents to change was abundantly evident by the reprehensible video. I am quite certain there isn't a legitimate agency or organization that will support the use of your effort, and urge you to cut your losses and re-envision something that will be effective and tasteful. <br /><br />EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-38598213879240585992009-11-13T20:23:34.494-05:002009-11-13T20:23:34.494-05:00It would appear that the ADA is behind this ad.

At least that is one of their clients according to the ServeMarketing web site.<br /><br />Again, the fact that some idiot thought you would be able to provide some wonderful insight on the ad based on your insight as a "diabetes" blogger is totally shocking to me. Clearly they have no understanding between type 1 and type 2. Why did the ADA hire this agency?<br /><br />cCarolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-54859867401542998762009-11-13T13:33:46.601-05:002009-11-13T13:33:46.601-05:00Simple.
