Clinitest said… - Hi Alissa,
Glad to hear that Naomi is a trooper for sure. It does make a child grow up quick dealing with some responsibilities. She will soon learn on her own what foods don’t make her feel good and that eating wrong things doesn’t make you feel good. This is good! Taking her own shots now is very good! I have mixed feelings on the CGM myself. I tried the Medtronics one and didn’t like it. Now, I am exploring the Dexcom. But, you are right, all we need is another gadget attached to us now. I have hard enough time finding fresh places to use my pump! Great on going to Gales Creek. That is the camp that I should have gone too as a kid. I was a recluse. I wish I did go so that I could have met some other kids with diabetes. It wasn’t until I was 35 until I met another diabetic. Sad. But, my very first Endo who started the Portland Diabetes Center (Dr. John Stephens…super Doctor he was) also started that camp. It is great. My Endo now attends the camp (Neifing). I actually volunteer at one near Spokane. It’s a good camp too called Camp Fun in the Sun. I know a lot of CDE’s there in Spokane and help them out on troubled cases. Neifing wanted me to go to Gales one of these times to help. I may see if they need help there this summer too! Anyway, nice to make your acquaintance. Ken

- Hi, I noticed your daughter just recently being diagnosed. I hope she is doing ok. Young kids who get this have a long road a head for sure. I was 4 when I got it. But, I just wanted you to know that things will be ok. Parents at this age definitely set the stage for setting good rules for how they deal with this in the future. My parents were awesome. I have them to thank for setting me on the right path. I volunteer at diabetic camps in the summer now. Try and get her to one of those if you can. She will meet some friends. I was stupid and didn't go to them when I was younger. Feel free to ask questions if you need to. I am in Beaverton. Ken
