Great to Wear at Diabetes Summer Camps.
There are two main types of Diabetes, type I and type II. The latter is sometimes called adult onset diabetes, and over 90% of diabetics suffer this type. Therefore, it should be no surprise that the vast majority of diabetics are adults. However, children can also suffer from diabetes. And for such kids, there are problems to face that are very different to those of their diabetic seniors. For example, a child with diabetes needs close monitoring and a great deal of constant care and attention from parents. This in itself is not a problem, but it may mean that the child never gets to spend a night away from home. Also, it is not uncommon for a diabetic child to have never met another child of their own age with diabetes. This makes for a very isolating period in a diabetic child’s life.
For these reasons, there are special camps for diabetic children to address these problems and bring a degree of normality to their lives. Such camps provide 24 hour professional medical supervision and care to all the children and are an extremely effective way to give young people living with diabetes a chance to be independent and learn about their condition with the support of their peers and trained health professionals. These camps provide an enjoyable and safe experience in a supervised environment and often focus on increasing the children’s ability to manage their own condition. Diabetes camps also create an environment which allows the interaction between young people with diabetes that may otherwise be denied through geographic isolation.
On the medical side, nothing is left to chance. Prior to camp, each participant is normally required to supply a detailed medical history and an indication of the management skills of the child. Based on this knowledge, the camp can then offer the child the opportunity to learn further self management skills and how to interact with other young people with diabetes under professional supervision. But the camps are designed to be fun as well as educational. Generally, they will offer a wide range of sporting facilities, which allow participants to try out new sports and other recreational activities, particularly team based activities, that they may often be otherwise denied.
