Hi! My name is Nikkolas & I have Type 1 diabetes. This site is part of my homeschool work. I hope it helps you. I also hope you will support the site by shopping through my links. I'm donating 5% of each sale to the Diabetic Youth Foundation to help kids go to camp. I have gone to diabetes camp (as you will see in my blog posts), & I really like it & want to help other kids go to camp, have fun, make new friends & learn about diabetes. Click on the logo to go to the "Shop" page & help me help others! Thank you! Mom's Note: This site is meant to provide encouragement to kids & teens living with Type 1 diabetes.
