Friends and Sports at the Gulch!


Sven and Taylor are shown with their cabin-mates and counselors.  If you didn't know this was a diabetic camp full of diabetic kids...you would NEVER be able to guess these kids had a disease! I love the smiles and the attitudes of all these kids! I should say that our kids have great attitudes too!

Looks like Sven bought a soda...I am sure it is a diet. He prefers diet drinks anymore so he doesn't have to dose for it. 

I believe Taylor is the only non-diabetic in her cabin. I sure hope she changed her mind...and decided to count carbs and 'pretend' for the week. That would go a long ways with Sven and her understanding of what he goes through.

Shootout at Glucose Gulch!


The kids look like they are having a great time at camp. They are no longer behind bars; however, I believe, they are being shot at...with water guns! Look at those beautiful faces! I sure miss these two!


There are outlaw bandits roaming the hills... such as:


Pancreas Poking Patrick- Wanted for spreading Diabetes across the land
Over Bolus Buffalo Bill- Wanted for giving diabetics too much Insulin
Butch Carbs Cassidy- Wanted for not counting his carbs
Glucose Glen- Wanted for stealing glucose tablets from the little diabetics

FCYD Camp Utada 2010 - Glucose Gulch

WANTED: Sven and Taylor

What: Diabetes Camp

Where: Camp Redcliffe Utah

When: This week...5 days

Why: To learn more about diabetes and meet new friends!

Theme: Wild West



The last I saw of these two...they were imprisoned at the camp! They are wanted for something...what exactly...I have no idea!!

More to come on these wanted figures later.

I sure hope they enjoy themselves. Taylor was offered the ability to 'pretend' to be a diabetic this week...and take saline shots and count carbs at mealtimes. She very politely said, in a quiet little voice, "NO WAY!". She was certain she wanted no part in finger pokes or needles of any kind.
