Caleb has Type 1 Diabetes. He was diagnosed shortly before turning 4. He currently uses an Insulin pump – the Omnipod (same as his hero Nick Jonas). We are hopeful that Denise Faustman and her team and/or the JDRF will be able to cure this disease in the near future. But they are still in need of funding to do so.

NICK Jonas….I meant Nick….don’t know why I typed Joe…..
Oh holy cow. I’m …
Oh holy cow. I’m sitting here now with tears rolling down my cheeks. I’m 25 and also a type 1 diabetic. I know how hard it was for me to adjust to this terrible disease when I was diagnosed 2 years ago, I can’t imagine what its like for a innocent little boy. I know his hero is Joe Jonas…but your little boy is MY new hero. He’s an inspiration to us all. God bless your beautiful family.
oh…p.s….I LOVE the OmniPod Christmas ornaments. Too Cute!!

My name is Christy and I am 29 year old mother of Olivia 2 1/2 years and I am a type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed at 23 with type 1 and a Cosmo Deltec pump user. However the way you are organized and manage your son’s diabetes is very admirable. I have a very hard time managing my life responsibilities / dutiesI have been researching on ideas to better manage my disease and life to enjoy more. Thank you for your video
I am type 1 …
I am type 1 diabetic myself and I must say, calebs videos are what keep me going every day. Seeing his story has motivated me to wake up every morning and fight this deasease head on. Thanks a million.
Hey there. Thanks …
Hey there. Thanks for the message. Yes Caleb has been pumping almost as long as he had been diagnosed. There was no question in my mind. As you know, there are days that I wish we could get a “do-over” on, but for the most part we manage and Caleb is a champ. All the best to you! Thanks again for posting and of course for watching!
Hi there! Thanks …
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. You are right, it’s tough and do-able. Camp is something I want for Caleb. Not yet. He’s only 6 right now, but I have only heard great things about it, so I do plan on it. Thanks for the insight. I really value it! Lorraine, Caleb’s mom
I am 23 dx’d at 14. …
I am 23 dx’d at 14. Been on a pump since I was 16.
Its tough, but do-able.
life is always a journey. diabetes is a stepping stone for me. It brought me a lot of things I probably wouldn’t have had much interest in otherwise.
Diabetes summer camp was THE BEST thing that ever happened to me post diabetes. Be sure to send him to one!
i am 16 diagnosed …
i am 16 diagnosed at age 3. let me tell u that it has been quite a journey but if there is something i can garantee you is that getting him the pump was the smartest thing you could have done. i used needles for about 9 years and my arms were calcified hard as rock. way better solution. and thankfully carb coounting is relatively simple once you have gotten used to it. i hope things with him are well and you should give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far with no complications
good one

Hi. I was diagnosed …
Hi. I was diagnosed when I was 15, now I’m 19. I really want the omnipod. I used to not take any of my shots at all. When I was at the childrens hospital, I just lied to them about my blood sugars and everything. But when I switched to the regular hospital, I decided it was time to change. So now I’m doing good and one of my nurses thinks I’m ready for the omnipod now. So I’m really excited. Anyways, thanks for sharing your story. It made my day brighter. lol.
Thank you so much …
