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.

Thanks for the mention, Brian and Traci. Bill and I have been pretty busy with this and nice to know someone is paying attention…especially the best magazine about comedy on the Internet. In our travels we have discovered that there are a lot of comedians with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately it’s growing by leaps and bounds. We encourage everyone to ask their doctor if they might be at risk. And there’s nothing funny about that.Brad Slaight
