As the mom of a kid with type 1 diabetes, I get very tired of people thinking it is the same as type 2 diabetes. Well, let me tell you, it's not! Kolton produces no insulin at all so his "life support" is 4 insulin injections everyday. One before each meal and another at bedtime. His diabetes cannot be cured with a change in diet or increase of exercise like type 2, no he's not overweight and no he won't outgrow it!! Life with a diabetic keeps me on my toes.
May-June of 2007 Kolton went to Camp Sweeny, a camp for kids with type 1 located near Gainsville, Texas. His best bud from the camp, Luke, lives in Austin and we got to go visit them later the same summer. The pictures I posted are Kolton in front of the cleanest cabin award his cabin earned, and a picture of me, Kolton, Luke and his mom Stacy the day we picked the kids up. Stacy has been so wonderful to me and never gets tired of my phone calls and questions!
