Isabella was diagnosed in Sr. Kindergarten. Today she is a very active 10 year old “pumper”. She won her first soccer tournament this summer and attended Camp Huronda for the second year. In everyway she is your typical 10 year old, more interested in playing outside, on the wii or on the computer. Last year at school, two girls in Bella’s class were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Bella was quick to jump in and show them the ropes. And when things weren’t going so well, she would try and share her experiences. She has an incredibly kind heart and always thinks of others before herself. Bella manages her diabetes very independently and is a champion carb counter. And while it’s still sometimes difficult for her to make the tough choices when it comes to snacks/treats, she always rises to the challenge. Bella has a passion for art. She often spends hours working on one of her many projects on the go – here, there is no time for diabetes.
