November is Diabetes Aweness month. The ribbon for Diabetes is grey with a drop of blood. Has anyone seen an embroidery design for this? Most of the time you can take a pink ribbon design and change the color to fit your cause but I have never seen a design with the blood drop on it. Any of you that know how to digitize want to tackle this?

4315Oh dear, I just realized that I misspelled Awareness. I should check my posts more carefully. I would like to find a design that I could make as an applique or fsl to put on my gym bag to raise awareness.

There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes.

Many thanks. Somewhere in the dim past I had been told purple was the diabetes awareness color but the t-shirts were always red so this is a revelation for me.

I saw grey Parkinson's disease ribbons too. I didn't know diabetes was this color or that they even had a ribbon for it.

I believe purple is for Migraines. I have two daughters who suffer from migraines.

I was just recently diagnosed and I did not know about this either but a friend posted it on Facebook so I did some research on it and found the information about the ribbon.
