Date:3/16/2009

Project Extended Through June 30th; Participation Raises Funds for Diabetes Charities

MILPITAS, Calif., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Brave. Fight. Grandpa. Life. Alive. At first glance, these words may not seem to have anything in common. But for the millions of people with diabetes, they represent the many emotions associated with living with this disease.

The five words and people were selected from thousands of submissions to the Global Diabetes Handprint (www.DiabetesHandprint.com), a project that invites people to submit images of their hands decorated with words and graphics depicting their personal experiences with diabetes. For each image submitted, OneTouch will donate $5, up to a maximum of $250,000(1), to diabetes charities.

(Pearland, TX), a pharmacy technician, submitted Fight because even though he himsel
