Blog Entries With Tag: Diabetes for Canadians for DummiesBlog: Anna's BlogFrom: FatCatAnnaPosted: Jun 13, 2011
Last week, to my surprise, George Simmons aka Ninjabetic tweeted a link for a Type 2 diabetic camp for kids in the United States. Just his statement alone floored me. I mean a Type 2 diabetic camp for kids? Except this one is not just aimed at Type 2 diabetic kids, but also families/kids at risk.
I really must be out of the loop! I know that Type 2 diabetes is on the increase on our big blue marble – but I like many people – associated it with older folks. When I was diagnosed as a youngster, I was in the diabetic ward at the hospital – and the only child on the whole floor – everyone else was … old (like me now ). So, curiosity got the better of this cat and I went to the library the next day – and came across Diabetes for Canadians for Dummies – and there it was standing point blank at me on page 231 – Your Child Has Type 2 Diabetes! Because of the epidemic of obesity – children here in Canada (and elsewhere as it points out) is much higher than it used to be (or higher in some communities). Once again, I learned something about diabetes that I wasn’t aware of! Another great link that came out of the Tweet conversation was one that Virtue B. posted that she’d seen at her endocrinologist’s office in Toronto on a recent visit. It’s called KidsType2Diabetes. It’s a really impressive site here in Canada with tips on healthy eating and getting active along with some great links and personally not just for kids - for the whole family! Get active - get involved!!
