Hunter was diagnosed on June 26, 2004 at the age of 7 months. He was in DKA when he was brought to the hospital and spent the next 3 days in ICU. He was then transfered to the pediatric unit where he spent another 4 days. Throughout these days, he was poked and prodded over and over again, but he was a very brave and resilient little baby.
Today Hunter is a happy, healthy 6 year old. He went on the insulin pump at the age of 3, and has been using it ever since. He has learned to check his blood sugar, use the pump correctly inputing BG and carbs all on his own. He has also started carb counting.

I am nominating my son Hunter because of what a brave, resilient and intelligent little boy he has become. I am proud to call him my son
