Last week was #DBLOGWeek which stands for Diabetes Blog Week. This was the 8th annual DBlogWeek which was started by Karen Graffeo. During DBLOGWeek, a set of prompts are created for Monday-Friday and everybody who participates writes about the same subject. Each day, their blog posts are collected onto a page where you can easily click and read everyone’s post.
We decided to share with you a couple of our favorites from each day’s prompts. We obviously can’t add all of them here, but you can read every post by checking out the DBLOGWeek Participant List.
