SUCH A GREAT FUND-RAISER FOR
YOU.
HOW MANY ARE YOU EXPECTING.

FORWARD TO FANTASTIC EVENING.

OTHER FAMILIES AND SPONSORS AS
WELL.
AND THIS WILL BE OUR 16th

ONE DIABETES RESEARCH.
>>> DO YOU HAVE YOUR SUIT PICKED
OUT?
YOUR BOW TIE READY?
>>> YES, MA'AM.
>> ARE YOU GOING THE SPEAK?
>>> YES, MA'AM.
>>> HOW OLD ARE YOU?
>>> 10.
>>> HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
LIVING DISMIEBTS.
>>> FOUR YEARS.
>>> WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR YOU IN
YOUR DAILY LIFE?
IT IS HARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO
MONITOR MY BLOOD SUGAR ALL DAY
AND NIGHT.
SOMETIMES THEM, MY PARENTS AT
NIGHT.
I USUALLY TAKE MY BLOOD SUGAR,
LUNCH, BREAKFAST AND DINNER AND
SOMETIMES HAVE AN AFTERNOON
SNACK, BUT IF I DON'T FEEL TOO
GOOD I TEST MY BLOOD SUGAR.
>>> AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING MAY
BE OFF.
HOW WAS HE DIAGNOSED?
>>> HE BECAME SYMPTOMATIC.
WE JUST KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T
RIGHT.
HIS MOTHER AND I.
>> WHAT KIND OF SYMPTOMS FOR
ANYONE LISTENING.
>> YOU WANT TO WATCH FOR, SUDDEN
ON SET OF CONSTANT GOING TO THE
BATHROOM.
MOOD SWING, DRASTIC MOOD SWINGS.
CONSTANTLY HUNGRY BUT STILL
LOSI WEIGHT.
LOW ENERGY.
THESE THINGS THEY CREEP UP AND
THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THERE
IS AN ISSUE.
WE TOOK HIM TO THE DOCTOR AND
HIS BLOOD SUGAR WAS OVER 600,
WHICH IS VERY SERIOUS.
SO WE WENT TO WOLFSON AND HE WAS
IN THE PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND A
COUPLE MORE MORE DAYS IN THE
REGULAR E. R. UNTIL THEY GOT HIS
BODY STABILIZED.
SINCE THEN WE'VE BEEN MONITORING
HIM AND LIKE YOU SAID, YOU,
THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY NOW
AND CHECKING HIS BLOOD SUGAR AND
MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS GOOD.
>>> HOW DO YOU DO THAT AT NIGHT?
>> NIGHT DELETE S NIGHTTIME IS
UNPREDICTABLE.
DOCTORS DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT
NIGHTTIME IS WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A
DRASTIC HIGH OR LOW.
SO HINS PANCREAS DOESN'T WORK,
HIS MOTHER AND I ARE HIS
PANCREAS, WE SET APLARM AND GET
UP AROUND MIDNIGHT AND 2 OR 3:00 A.M. WE CHECK HIS BLOOD
SUGAR.
IF HE'S CONSTITUTED WE LEAVE HIM
ALONE IF IT IS LOW OR HIGH WE'LL
WAKE HIM UP AND ADJUST A DOES
THAT INVOLVE DOGGING A OPINION
APPROXIMATE PRICK.
-- PINPRICK?
>>> ONCE IN AWHILE I WAKE UP.
AND THAT IS USUALLY THE ONLY
TIME I WAKE UP OR ELSE I JUST
WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT.
>>> SO MANY OF US ARE FAMILIAR
WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES, TYPE ONE
IS DEVASTATING, TOO DIAGNOSED IN
CHILDREN OR UP TO 21.
>>> ACTUALLY TYPE ONE CAN BE
DIAGNOSED AT ANY AGE.
TYPE ONE DIABETES IS THE SAME
THING AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT
THERE ARE MORE CASES NOW THAN IN
THE PAST OF ADULTS BEING
DIAGNOSED AS WELL.
AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED THERE IS
A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TYPE-I AND
TYPE 2 WHERE TYPE 1 IS AN AUTO
IMMUNE DISEASE.
FOLKS LIKE AHEADEN AND OTHER
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE TYPE ONE
HAVE OPTIONS SUCH AS WEARING AN
INSULIN POUCH.
AND BECAUSE OF JDR-FUNNED
RESEARCHERS, JUST LAST WEEK THE
FDA APPROVED THE FIRST EVER
ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS IN THE
UNITED STATES WHICH IS HUGE
NEWS.
>> HAVE THEY IMPLANTED THAT IN
ANYONE YET?
>>> IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS AN
INTERNAL DEVICE BUT IT IS AN
EXTERNAL DEVICE.
IT IS TWO PARTS.
THE WAY THAT ITS FUNCTIONS IS IT
TAKES A CONTINUOUS GLUE COAST
MONITOR, TESTS GLUCOSE AND GIVES
INSULIN AS NEEDED AND REDUCE THE
BURDEN AND CONTROL THE BLOOD
SUGAR RANGES TO BLESSEN THE
BURDEN AND MO.
IT IS HUGE NEWS FOR PEOPLE WITH
TYPE-I DELETE S IAND TYPE U TYPE
II DIABETES.
>>> THAT IS FANTASTIC.
WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND I
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN YOUR
BOW TIE.
THANK YOU BOTH.
AND THE EVENT STARTS AT 6:00
SATURDAY IN PONTE VEDRA BEACH.
THERE WILL BE SILENT AND LIVE
AUCTION.
