My sister is my best friend. We play all the time and she helps me with my diabetes. I love to play sports and be outside. My favorite sports are football and soccer. I also like to go skiing. In the summer, my family goes rafting and camping a lot. Diabetes doesn’t slow me down, I do everything my family does.
