Diabetes care is part of life, so we often find ourselves checking blood sugars, taking insulin, and changing infusion sets in interesting places and at interesting times. Here are some great examples of people living life to the fullest and taking care of their diabetes at the same time.
Mason, age 16 months, and his Grandpa Ron both check their blood sugars (both have Type 1) at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk for the Cure in St. Louis, Missouri on October 3, 2004.
This is Garrett on a hike with his family to Twin Lakes in Washington State. He said he was hungry so we just stopped in the middle of the trail and had lunch! The picture was taken on October 3, 2004.
Not even full armor can stop a blood sugar check. The setting is the Renaissance Faire in Gilroy, California. The knight in not-so-shining armor is Brian, age 16.
