Penny is a beautiful 12 yr old little girl. I say little girl. She will be 13 soon. They grow up so fast.

Penny was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 18 months old. She is a pro at this disease now. She takes care of her own site changes, does her own blood sugars and even takes care of her own carb counting.

She is a very brave girl. This disease has sure taken a toll on her though. She knows of no other children with diabetes. She feels so isolated. We have had to go as far as home schooling her. She can't run and play and do sports like the other children. She is such a brittle diabetic her sugars can drop at any given moment. She just needs encouragement. Just to know there are still good people in the world.


Comments: Penny loves horses. Anything to do with horses. She even wants to become a Equestrian VET. This girl has dreams for sure. She loves to draw, sing and read. Loves doing anything crafty. Her favorite color is blue. She loves making jewelry. She loves the smell of fresh flowers and cookies baking in the oven. She loves to bake cookies with me.
