Sorry for the lack of consistent uploads over the past few months, I\u2019ve been busy doing a variety of diabetes-related activities, such as interning\u00a0 with the San Francisco based diabetic education company, Close Concerns and volunteering with the Maryland based non-profit company, AYUDA (American Youth Understanding Diabetes Abroad). Now with all these experiences, I have a lot to write about, starting with my time in AYUDA!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For those who aren\u2019t familiar, AYUDA is a nonprofit organization focusing on helping American teens run educational summer programs (called Campo Amigo) for youth with diabetes in the Dominican Republic (a country which has Spanish as it\u2019s native language).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I was in the DR for eleven days, during which I and a group of nine other teens partnered with a local Dominican charity, \u201cAprendiendo a Vivir\u201d in order to prepare a four-day camp packed to the brim with both educational and entertaining activities for the local children. I was in the blue group, which worked with campers ages nine to thirteen.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each day, we\u2019d bring the kids into camp, check their blood sugar, and have the nurse administer any corrections to their blood sugar levels. Next, we\u2019d do a group of activities, which were separated into the categories of sports, arts and crafts, and education.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For sports, we started with a simple game of hot potato, where the campers would have to say their name, favorite color, and favorite hobby when they lost. After every camper got the chance to introduce themselves, we moved onto a game we called \u201cAlto, Bajo, Medio\u201d. This game involved the campers either limboing under or jumping over a jump rope, depending on if a number they were given was high or low.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For education, we played an activity called \u201cPin the Insulin Syringe on the Person,\u201d in which campers would split into teams and use cutouts of insulin syringes to mark common injection sites. While I didn\u2019t come up with every idea, I was quite proud of that one. And finally, for arts and crafts, we had each of the campers make a partitioned bracelet color coded to represent the types and sizes of different foods they\u2019d find on their plates.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each kid came from a very different background and lived a very different life from me, but we all still had the same illness and had chance to bond and grow together. Having diabetes made them all strong, and being there together, with both their peers and the counselors, made them stronger. For instance, on the first day, there was one camper, a ten-year-old named Juan, who I invited to play basketball. After all that exercise, I implored him to check his blood glucose, but he didn\u2019t want too. He was too afraid of the lancet to perform his own check. By the time we got to the end of the day, he\u2019d gotten the chance to see both kids and counselors checking, and he was finally brave enough to check his own blood sugar for the very first time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Being there with him and seeing his growth reminded me about how I was when I was newly diagnosed. I was terrified of the needles and the blood and all those frightening medical terms. But just as I grew up and learned how to control my diabetes, so did he. Not only did I get the chance to help, but I also got the chance to be helped. The program nurse was there to help both the kids and counselors. For instance, on a night where I was having significant trouble with my pump (I simply didn\u2019t seem to be absorbing insulin), the program nurse spent thirty minutes trying to figure out why I was having issues (it turned out that I just needed to try a new pump site, as my usual ones were getting too used up). This was the true value of AYUDA, being given the chance to both help and be helped.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That\u2019s all for now! AYUDA was a great experience, and I look forward to hopefully participating\u00a0 next year!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, and welcome back to the Poetic Diabetic!
