Everyone has a pancreas in his/her body. The pancreas makes insulin.

Your body needs insulin to make energy from the food we eat.

My pancreas stopped working and so I had to go to the hospital.

Since my pancreas doesn’t make insulin anymore, I have to give my body insulin.

Now, I get my insulin from a pump.

Before I eat, I have to test my blood with my meter.

And, I have to know how many carbs are in the food I’m going to eat.

When I go low, I have to have 15 carbs of sugar.

When I have too much insulin and not enough sugar, I go “low.” I can feel……..

When I go “high,” I have too much sugar in my blood and I need insulin.

This is how you can help me………..
• Please understand that I can’t share my food. I need to eat everything that we planned so that I don’t go low.
• Please don’t give me food. I can’t eat extra food without insulin.
• If I tell you I feel low, please tell an adult.
