I am Charlie. I am 7 years old. I love hockey! I have one bruther and one sister. My sisters name is Maeve. My bruthers name is Ben. When I first got diabetes I was almost two years old.

I don’t remember how it felt when I was littil. one time I past out at a food stoor!I think I was four or five when I past out. I have a pump. When I go in the pool I have to take my pump off.

when I am really high I feel low. i like the pump beder then a shot because you have to take shots all day with a pump you get a bolus. the pump gives me insulin. my littil bruther is four and my sister is ten. diabetes can’t stop me from dowing anything. There are a lot of difrint kides of pumps. i have a minnimed. it is blue.

When I get a site change Ben holds my hand. Ben and me fite a lot. evry seckind day of school my dad comes and talks about diabetes. I have a meater that tells the pump what my blud shouger is. When I am at school and it’s snack time and I am high I ‘m really sad becose I don’t get a snack. but I do get jell-o. i know how to lock myself on the pump. evry October my family come to the walk to cure diabetes. If I did’t have diabetes I woud have food mostlee when I wonted. on august 15 2009 I am going to a soccer game.

I just started to test my self. I like testing myself becose it makes me feel older. I whont to get a difrint kinde of site. A smaller one. One time I whent to see drag raseing and I saw a boy with the same pump. Maeve thinks Nick Jonas is cute. He has diabetes too. Sum times kids ask what my pump is.

Some times diabetes can be fun. There’s speshel things to do.

Thanks for reading my story.
