1. Get your drop

There are a few ways to rock the drop: you can purchase the Drop Hat, add a #TheDropSpotted gif to your Instagram Story by searching “Beyond Type” in instagram gifs, download this transparent graphic to add to any photo yourself, or use one of the shareable graphics below.

2. Share

Post your #TheDropSpotted photo to your personal social media accounts. Make sure to use the hashtag! Share something about your life with type 2 diabetes you wish your friends, family, coworkers, or classmates understood.

Prompts: How many times per day do you think about your blood sugar levels? How has diabetes impacted you mentally? How long have you been managing day in and day out? Who supports you?
