In the past I have attended blogger events hosted by Lilly, my travel, lodging and meals were covered by the company. I have also been a spokesperson for Lilly in the past, when I gave interviews about my tips for sleepovers for children with diabetes. No purchase is necessary to enter. No personal information is being collected by Lilly or Arden's Day. Prizes have no cash value.

More info on my blogging morals are available at my disclaimer/disclosure.

Good luck!

Arden picks the winner of our Diabetes Circles Shoe Laces giveaway...

Thank you to everyone for sharing and entering!

Lace Up 4 Diabetes Shoe Laces Giveaway

Novo Nordisk's #LaceUp4Diabetes campaign has been a huge success and I don't think that it's a big secret as to why, shoe laces adorn with blue diabetes circles are super %&*@ing amazing!

I was lucky enough to receive laces from Novo last week. My wife Kelly has a pair on her sneakers, Arden has a pair on her purple Vans and I would like it very much if one of you had the last pair.

Entries will be accepted until midnight EST on November 24th. To enter just share this page somewhere on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc) and then leave a comment on this blog post that includes your email address (Your comment is your entry). Good luck!

The fine print: One winner will be chosen at random by Arden using the time honored method of pulling a slip of paper from a paper bag. If the winner doesn't respond to email in a reasonable amount of time, Arden will re-pick. Giveaway is limited to U.S and Canadian residents.

Lilly Diabetes Book GiveAway

added, November 17 - 9:36pm

The winners have been chosen at random by Arden, watch the video to see if you won - good luck!

 Winners please send your mailing address to ardensday@me.com

original post -I have six wonderful books from Lilly Diabetes/Disney that are geared toward children from the ages of about 8 to 12. Each book features a character who lives with type I diabetes. I've grouped the books together by gender, three in each group. These books are available for free from your Endo's Lilly rep - if you are interested and don't win the giveaway.

To enter the drawing, simply leave a comment that includes your email address and a choice of either the boy or girl group. Arden will be drawing one name at random from each group. Entries will be excepted until midnight eastern time on World Diabetes Day (November 14, 2013). 

You can enter in both groups but can only win in one. US residents only, sorry postage to Canada is steep. Good luck!
