Shayleen is 6 years old and a lot of fun! She is our Diabetes Champion seeing as she was diagnosed Type 1 a year ago at the age of 5 and is still our sweet little cupcake-full of life, energy and compassion. She is caring, creative, talented and very freindly and loves her class freinds, teachers, and support staff at school! A shout out to Park Meadows Elementary School who’s staff have worked with Shayleen this year to help her take control of her Diabetes daily regime and give Shay the confidence to tell her Mom and Dad not to worry about checking on her that she can take care of it herself! (Once she learns a bit more about math and doesn’t mix up 2′s and 5′s she’s planning on managing her blood glucose levels herself!!) She love’s to read and play with Barbie’s, Figure Skate, play soccer, Dance and Gymnastics! Shayleen Marie’s family is very proud of the strong, confident young girl she is!
