Comic superheroes heighten awareness of diabetes

Thousands of diabetics of all ages know them as Captain Glucose and Meterboy, we know them as Bill Kirchenbauer and Brad Slaight, respectively.

The pair are determined to do for diabetes awareness “what Smokey the Bear did for fire awareness.”

Kirchenbauer has Type II, Slaight Type I.

Along with “Commissioner of Diabetes” Alan Thicke, they seek sponsorship from diabetes-related companies for a DVD, live appearances, education materials, etc. If you want to support the cause in the interim, go befriend them on their MySpace site.
