I’m Eileen and I was a 7-year-old type 1 diabetic when I was diagnosed in the early 1960s. No pumps, no A1Cs, used glass syringes to inject insulin—I was my pediatrician’s first diabetic patient he ever treated. My mom learned everything regarding food and food exchanges and taught me everything she knew. I am forever grateful to her. I too went to Camp NYDA in upstate NY and from the great experiences I had there, I knew I would become a RN. I learned to stand up for myself as prejudice sometimes showed its ugly face.
