Hey guys I just got back from the American Diabetes Association’s Triangle D Camp! I had so much and made a bunch of new friends that will stick with me for a life time! For the 7 days I was thereI learned so much more than I expected. I thought I knew about everything about diabetes, but nope! I learned about different types of insulin and what they are used for and what they do, such as long acting insulin, humalog, novolog, and few others in Diabetes Ed. We played a bunch of new games such as mission impossible, CoCo Chaos, trivial pursuit, and capture the flag-where we used colored face paint to determine what team we were on. Another great part of camp was the food! There were so many varieties of different food choices at every meal, including all of the carb counts, and so many snacks you won't be hungry. I even got the cabin with the showers in it too! There were high ropes where you could go zip lining and do the multi vine, which I went on three times it was so much fun. You could even go blobbing where there is a floatable thing in the lake and you jump on and you go flying into the water. The first year I went on it my pump fell off into the water and probably is still there! I went canoeing with some of my friends and it was so windy we had to raise our paddles so someone would come and pull us back! It was really funny! Be sure to like www.facebook.com/kidswithdiabeteschicago to check out some of the photos from the week!
       School softball started for me already so we are practicing every day and having games. We are pretty good this year. School for me starts this Wednesday so I'm going last minute school shopping!
