I received an email last week from an organization called Onetouch.com. They were promoting an idea called the [Diabetes Handprint](http://www.diabeteshandprint.com/Default.aspx)created by Manny Hernandez in order to raise global awareness of diabetes. His organization is called Tudiabetes.com.

The idea is interesting - create a word or phrase inside the palm of your hand, take a pic of it, and send it in. For every hand sent in $5 will be donated to the cause by various sponsors.

Here is an example:

So I decided I'd add a hand via their website by creating [a virtual hand.](http://www.diabeteshandprint.com/Design.aspx)

If you are up your low carb research reading (as you'd think all organizations who are interested in ending diabetes would be) you see quite vividly that a low carb diet is THE cure for type II diabetes. On that page you have to give a short story about your word. Of course I explained the science in brief.

So, I designed a hand that said (drum roll please):

**No Carbs**

The website says that you will receive a confirmation that your handprint has been received and added to the group. Not so fast rabbit! I received an email saying:

*"Dear Fredhahn,*

  
*We're sorry but your submission was not accepted for publishing on the Diabeteshandprint.com website."*

Here are [their content submission terms.](http://www.diabeteshandprint.com/terms.htm) I violated none of them.

So the bottom line is, the review staff (a staff that clearly has not read a single study on the subject) denies a hand print that holds the answer for virtually all type II diabetics.

Pretty interesting doncha think? As the late Carl Sagan wrote: "Science as a candle in the dark." Clearly not in this case.
