Jonathon is my son. In March of 2009 he was diagnosed with Type 1. He was only four yares old. He took it better than we did. I think he understood that the insulin he was getting was going to make him feel better. Jonathon has never been scared of anything diabetes related. On Dec. 23rd 2010 Jonathon recieved the Insulin pump. He said it was the best Christmas present he could ever get. Jonathon is always willing to talk to anyone about his diabetes. When kids in his class ask him about testing his sugar or about his pump he tells all about it. My favorite response has to be when he tells people about his pump. he says ” Your body gives you insulin inside your body. Mine comes from right here” pointing to his pump. On monday Nov. 14 Jonathon and I will be going from class to class at his school to educate the children about Type 1 & 2 Diabetes. He is my hero, never complains about all the testing and needles. He just does it because that what has to be done to feel better. In the 2 yrs since his diagnosis I have learned so much about Diabetes. But the most important thing I have learned is that Jonathon is still a healthy, vibrant, awesome kid.
