My daughter Charlotte is definitely a Diabetes Champion! Charlotte was diagnosed at 18 months and celebrated her 6th birthday in August. She has been on the pump for 2 1/2 years now. The reason I think she is a Champion is because she is so willing to share her story with others. She shows her pump for sharing at school, she explains how it works, and even lets her friends watch her do her site change. She also tests her own blood sugar, enters her own boluses and also is learning to calculate how many carbs she has in a meal. When she has met new kids with diabetes she is so reassuring to them and is never negative about having diabetes. She says she wants to be a “diabetes doctor” when she grows up!
