And Insulin Pump And His Parents Love Makes All The Difference In Little Ivan’s Diabetic Life

“You feed your kids rubbish – that’s what most people think. It’s ignorance and it’s understandable, but it’s quite hurtful. Having Type-1 diabetes has got nothing to do with diet. We don’t have a family history of diabetes – there’s no rhyme or reason why he got it.”

That is right out of the mouth of a mommy that has dealt with diabetes first hand. Little Ivan Bentley was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 5 years old. Obviously we all want what’s best for our children and will fight any battle we have to to make that happen but this particular Mum even fought the system to insure an insulin pump to aid Ivan in his day to day fight with diabetes.

And has the insulin pump made a difference?

“You can’t imagine the joy I felt at taking him out and buying him an ice cream. It really was like watching a kid in a candy store.”

Like I have said previously, I give any parent, grand parent, sister, brother, aunt and especially the kids all the credit in the world. Y’all deal with this disease every day of your lives with patience, confidence and love. You are amazing!
