TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

I am 22 years old and have had diabetes since I was 12. As a kid, I attended a camp for kids with diabetes, and that experience really changed my life. Meeting such a supportive network of friends that understood exactly what I was going through was such a gift. I whole-heartedly believe in the benefits of Diabetes Camp and have worked at several camps across the country and the globe as a counselor for the last 3 years. In addition to caring for my own diabetes over the last 9 years, I have also completed two counselor in training sessions and four staff training summer sessions where the staff are extensively trained in dealing with all kinds of situations involving kids and their diabetes. I check blood sugars, give insulin injections, use most pumps with ease, know the protocol for lows, highs, high activity, etc. I really truly love working with diabetic children. They are so inspirational. I would love to get to know and take care of your kids : ) Available after 4pm Mon-Thurs and all day Saturday and Sunday.

I live in Athens, GA, so the closer we live to each other, the less travel time involved, which is convenient. But I also fly for free (my father is a pilot) and if there are any out-of-state-ers that are going away fro the weekend or need a sitter for an extended period of time, we could also try to work something out.
