EDUCATION STARTS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITH INFORMATION TO ABSORB AND SKILLS TO BE PRACTICED. THE LEARNING PROCESS INTRODUCES PARENTS AND CHILDREN TO AN ARRAY OF MEDICAL WORDS AND TERMS THAT DESCRIBE DIABETES AND HOW TO MANAGE DAY TO DAY, INSULINS, KETONES, SHOTS, POKES, TESTS, SUGARS, HIGHS AND LOWS, REACTIONS, CONTROL. THESE WORDS BECOME A PART OF EVERYDAY LANGUAGE IN THE HOUSEHOLD AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY'S SCHEDULE IS FORMED AROUND DIABETES MANAGEMENT.

THIS IS A PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN TOO YOUNG TO ATTEND SUMMER CAMP AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY DIAGNOSED. FAMILY CAMP IS A TIME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DIABETES, HAVE FUN AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH FAMILIES WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME CHALLENGES OF LIVING WITH DIABETES PARENTS TELL US THAT THE PARENT EDUCATION SESSIONS ARE THEIR FAVORITE PART OF THE WEEKEND. WE BRING IN DIABETES EXPERTS (ENDOCRINOLOGISTS, DIABETES EDUCATORS AND DIETITIANS) TO TALK WITH OUR PARENTS ABOUT LATEST DIABETES TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER HOT TOPICS. PARENTS HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THE EXPERTS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW, BUT NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO ASK.AT FAMILY CAMP, CHILDREN WITH DIABETES SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE. SIBLINGS FEEL INCLUDED. PARENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DISEASE THAT AFFECTS THEIR CHILD.
