Hello!These meetings, such as well -known camps for diabetic children always generate ambivalent feelings in me.On the one hand I think, a camp only of diabetic boys?If my son can go to any camp, with the necessary care, it is not discriminating, segregating, excluding, stigmatizing?X Another side imposes my current reality, living in a small town, where the only child with diabetes is my son, therefore, it was unknown in the garden and what it was, until today when inSome celebration Tomi eats a little piece of cake the teachers look at me sideways like their self I was doing something forbidden, the hospital pediatrician does not have experience, nor talk about units, nor do we as potatoes we can talk with other parents, and that is where I replenish... In a camp for diabetic children they will know how to take care of it, they will be instructed, and there will be exchange with other children.The thought immediately returns ...... exclusive camp?And I remain ambivalent to this.
