They will see that they aren't alone and may learn more about dealing, with the condition from seeing seeing how other young people manage. The camp also gives the children a chance to realize that they can deal with their diabetes on their own, she said, without Mom and Dad's help. She stresses that the major major priority of the camp is to have fun, but the children attending "do have a very serious, chronic condition 'Æm mM that they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis." Medical supervisors ensure ensure that children have their blood monitored daily and that their food intake is balanced with their physical activity. With that in mind, Mrs. Todd tells parents who may be a little guilt-sticken over sending their child away for two weeks, to view the time apart as a break from the daily routine of blood tests and needles. The camp, she added, "Is the first invaluable step for the parents in letting go."
