My name is Sailor and I was diagnosed two months before my third birthday, on December 10, 2001. I have been a part of CWD since my first conference in 2002. I started in the childcare and at FFL 2012 I will be a teen. I finally made it to the teens!! At first it was hard for my family to get used to the changes in our lives – because diabetes affects everyone in the family. CWD has been teaching me the tools I need to deal with those challenges and has taught my mom to not freak out so much (thanks to Natalie). I have been an Animas pumper since October 2004 and CGM since 2009. That has helped me to manage my diabetes better. I live in southern California. Some of the things I like to do is hang out with my friends, play the piano, sing and dance. I also love to bake and will some day train to be a pastery chef in Paris. I have an older sister, Sierra, who has graduated from CWD teens and is now a staff member. I am a Diabetes Diplomoat for DRI and have raised a lot of money to help find a cure. My whole family is involved in Children with Diabetes. What I like best about the conferences is getting to see my friends that have become my second family and making new ones for life! Having diabetes is not all bad when I have my CWD family. I have tried not to let diabetes be who I am. Once, when I was little, I heard some adults call me a diabetic. I immediately corrected them by saying "I'm not a diabetic, I'm a little girl with diabetes." If you are new to CWD and need someone to welcome you to our family, you can email me at .
