Many parents of children with diabetes are apprehensive about sending their youngsters away for summer camp.  Individuals with diabetes have to be very aware of blood sugar levels, insulin intake, physical activity, and nutrition.  One can see how a parent of a child with the disease could think twice about traditional summer camps.  Good News!  With the unfortunate rise in numbers of young people with diabetes, many specialty camps have been opened. Camps such as the one the Kingsport Diabetes Association runs are committed to teaching children with diabetes how to live a normal and active lifestyle, and provide a safe and medically-staffed program for these kids.
