6 Diabetes in the News WILL PERICAK DOES NOT LET HIS TYPE 1 DIABETES AFFECT HIS FOOTBALL DREAMS ill Pericak is proof that a person can accomplish anything that they desire. Will was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in high school. At the time, he was playing football for his high school and refused to let the W bad news ruin his dreams of being recruited to the NFL. Although it took him a couple of seasons to adjust to playing with diabetes, he was able to learn how his body responds to the adrenaline and plans accordingly. His hard work led him to the University of Colorado football team, where he says he would check his blood sugar up to 20 times on game days. Now, as an NFL player for the Baltimore Ravens, Will finds that managing his diabetes is a lot easier than it was in his college days. He explains that the key to success is knowing your body, and what works for one person may not work for another.

ear Barbara Davis Center,

My name is Destinee Upton and I have type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 14, and at that age I became a patient at the Barbara Davis Center. I am now 21, and D while living with diabetes for seven years, I have grown in my knowledge of how to take care of myself, be happy with who I am, and to live like any normal young adult. Throughout these past seven years, and still to this day, I face many challenges, which I am sure everyone with type 1 diabetes must face.

In the beginning of my diagnosis I was a freshman in high school. With the pressure of being in a big, new school, making friends, facing bullies, and trying to get good grades, I also had the added weight of learning about diabetes and how to care for myself. I was lucky in the fact that I was old enough to understand, and thankfully I have never had any major problems that would lead to a hospital visit. I adjusted well to my new lifestyle, with the exception of the few weeks when I refused to believe I had diabetes and stopped taking my insulin. After some help from my doctors, I decided it was wise to listen to the professionals and take my insulin. High school life went on as normal, and towards the end I realized having diabetes wasn’t all bad. For example, I received the Mayor’s Outstanding Youth Award for being able to juggle high school demands along with the demands of diabetes. I also won a scholarship for two years, due to my diabetes. The Barbara Davis Center was always there in the background, counseling me, cheering me on, and coaching me through.

After high school, when I turned 18, I was no longer covered under insurance. This is a scary thing for someone who needs their medications and does not have the money to buy these necessities out of pocket. When I would begin to run low on needles, syringes, glucose tabs, Lantus, or Novolog, I would start to panic. Money went towards bills and groceries. What about the Barbara Davis Center, could they help me? Yes! The doctors, nurses, and social workers would load me up with items to get me through the next few months. I am still struggling with insurance, but I know the Barbara Davis Center will be there to provide me with the much needed supplies. Barbara Davis Center The purpose of this letter is to show my deep appreciation for the Barbara Davis Center and their continued help and support. Without the many different people who work at the Center, my knowledge of diabetes would not be as expansive, and most importantly, I would not be able to provide myself with the necessary supplies. Without insulin, test strips, or syringes, my health would be in a horrible state, and for that I owe my good health and peace of mind to the Barbara Davis Center.

Thank you very much,

Destinee Upton

16 Guild Guide LENDING A HAND TO THE HELPING HAND FUND — By Dana Shepard ecently a five-year-old girl came to us at the Barbara Davis Center with her family. She had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the days before and had spent two nights at the Children’s Hospital adjusting her fluids and insulin doses. She and her family were here at the Barbara Davis Center in order to learn how to test her blood sugar, give herself insulin R injections and learn how to care for her now that she had been diagnosed with diabetes. They would spend the whole day learning how to adjust her insulin doses, check blood sugars four times a day, eat foods that would be healthy, and work together to help her stay active. This should have been all that they had to learn. But sadly, this family had no health insurance. The medications this little girl required would cost from $500 to $800 a month. The hospital stay that she had just had, in order to save her life at diagnosis, would be very costly. The education they were receiving at the Barbara Davis Center also had costs associated with it, and none of it was covered by insurance. Her insulin and diabetes supplies would need to be refilled every month.

Thanks to the Helping Hand Fund from the Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation, the Barbara Davis Center was able to give the family enough supplies to care for their little girl in the coming weeks and months. No other facility could help the family supply this life sustaining medication. Because diabetes is an equal opportunity disease, there are many families who simply cannot afford the insulin their child requires. It is only through the generosity of the kind individuals who find it in their hearts to give to the Helping Hand Fund of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation that we are able to continue to help those who either cannot afford insulin or have to choose between lifesaving insulin and groceries. At this time of year when we pause and reflect on those less fortunate, please consider a gift to the Helping Hand Fund of the Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation.
