Diabetes and Me
What’s it like to be a high school athlete and wake up one morning and find out that you have juvenile diabetes? What goes through your mind, how do you interact with your friends, coaches, teachers and parents? How do you carry on a “normal life?”
One in three children born after 2000 will be diagnosed with diabetes at some point in their lifetime. Deborah Schroeder, University of Nebraska-Lincoln extension educator in Cumings County says that diabetes can be the result of genetics, however, obesity is a major contributing factor. Schroeder says diabetes is a growing concern in the United States.
Robert Kreikemeier of West Point, Nebraska is now a college sophomore at Kansas State University. He talks openly about his life with Juvenile Diabetes to an audience of young people and their parents. He explains his feelings as he first learned he had diabetes and how he learned to managed his diabetes in high school with the help of his teachers, coaches, parents and friends. Kreikemeier explains that going to college brought about a new set of challenges. His regimented high school schedule and home life quickly changed to an irregular schedule of classes, meals, social activities and no parents to watch over him.
Kreikemeier’s presentation, "Diabetes and Me" offers hope to young people with Juvenile Diabetes. He shares his life experiences with the disease with frankness and humor.
