Tayten Berkey, Pitt Meadows British Columbia

Tayten is my Diabetes Champion. He is 7 years old and has been living with Diabetes since the age of 2. He has a great attitude with it, he never gets “down” with having to test or administer his pump. He calls us “2 peas in a pod” as I am also, Type 1 Diabetic. He has educated so many kids, teachers and friends about living with Diabetes. It is great to see such a positive perspective on Diabetes and I believe that has stemmed from the education we have provided him with from an early age. Tayten will be completing in his first kids Triathlon in the summer of 2012 with other Diabetics. He is so excited to don the “Triabetes” singlet. Tayten! You inspire me and you are my Diabetes Champion!
