Sweet Resolution, a new blog in support of the Unite for Diabetes campaign, was set up and is run by Karen Siegel, a Global Public Health student, a diabetes advocate and member of the Novo Nordisk International Youth Panel.
The purpose of this site is four-fold:
- To increase awareness of diabetes as a public health priority among you, my audience.
- To serve as a platform for diabetes and chronic disease-related international news.
- To educate readers about diabetes, its importance, and to dispel common myths.
- To carefully consider the facts, weigh evidence, and identify potential solutions for reducing the burden of diabetes and chronic disease throughout the world.
Since diabetes prevention and control is a multisectoral issue, I plan to discuss topics relating to health and healthcare, economics, globalization, global corporate practices and policy-making. I hope you enjoy my posts, and I look forward to your comments on the issues I will present here.

Hi Karen,
Great job! I learnt a great deal from this website. We run a network of hospitals in Southern India, with focus on preventive medicine, and diabetes is one of our key areas of focus.
We have done a number of educational camps in schools, colleges, industries and communities to promote awareness about long term complications and who to prevent them.
Your site is a great resource for us!

Hey Karen,
I just stumbled across this page and I really think it’s great. I’ll e-mail the other youth ambassadors to inform them about it!
I think page can be used in many great ways to help others and to possibly give advice/support to other diabetics who are struggling with their condition.
I can already tell that you are passionate about your work so keep it up
Take care

I was reading your blog and I see you have a very impressive way of describing things. The information you provide is very helpful. So I was wondering if you could take a look at our product pinhole glasses and write a review about and post it in your blog.
I would really be interested to know if you would be able to post the review in your blog with links to our site.
