"We encourage children to live a life in harmony with diabetes. "

President of the Foundation for Diabetic Children Koç University Faculty of Medicine Professor Prof.Dr. Dr. Şükrü Hatun," Type 1 diabetes is the type of diabetes seen in children. & # 39; there are about 20,000 children with type 1 diabetes in our country. Insulin is important in type 1 treatment. Insulin injection or pump is used 4 times a day. It is also very important that at least as many type 1 diabetics be aware and well educated. The most important goal of this camp is to promote awareness of children with type 1 diabetes and manage their own care. We have been camping in Iznik for 21 years. 90 children participated in this campaign. 20 from southeastern Anatolia and 10 from Afyon. Istanbul, Bursa, Denizli, Balıkesir are among the participants. We provide 2 hours of training per day under the supervision of doctors, nurses, dieticians, medical students, psychologists, psychiatrists. We motivate children to live a life in harmony with diabetes. The impressions we have obtained so far are that the camp has been successful. The number of such camps must increase for care of children with type 1 diabetes. At the point of payment of public expenses, the state must make more contributions. We wish all diabetic children to participate in these camps.

"The camp is very positive in my opinion."

Buster Birol, a 12-year-old from Kampa Afyonkarahisar, said, "I have been living with diabetes for about 4 ½ years. I'm using an insulin pump. I've used a needle 4 times a day before this pump, but now it's the first benefit as it drops to 1 time in 3 days. It was harder to carry insulin with us a day later, but it makes our life easier when we plug the pump. I think the camp is very positive. We meet a lot of people. They are all diabetics like me. For example, when my candy is down, they can all understand you. People do not know in another environment, so the answers are different. Bertan Tekin, 16, from Diyarbakir, says:

"When I was at home, four and a half years ago, when I was home, I had to prick myself a shoulder."

"I have had diabetes for four and a half years. I could not, I learned here. I have learned to live with difficulties and not fight them. I know friends, doctors, older brothers. I understand that diabetes is a struggle for life. I am fighting diabetes for four and a half years.

Kaan Ege Karakus, who has been diagnosed with diabetes for 14 years and is studying at the Faculty of Medicine at Koç University, said: "I came here as a brother. know about diabetes, we prepare them socially, we try to create a big brother model for children, my goal is to complete my specialty in diabetes and to study, I want to serve the world in this matter. Children feel lonely, alone.They do not know how to handle this problem.But when they get together, they see that they are not alone.They spend a good week away from the problems at the 39, exterior.
