Fun and formation against diabetes

As usual, the Great School of Arcos de la Frontera has once again chosen by different diabetic associations so that the little ones can enjoy a pleasant coexistence between people suffering from their same pathology.According to the camp of the camp, Juan García, is a good way for the small diabetics of learning to control the disease and measure their sugar levels, all in a fun and playful environment where nature and sport play a fundamental role.

The Buenavista school has become a reference for associations that organize this type of camps, since since 91 they have been carried out, although they were interrupted between 1993 and 1995. From 1996 to the present time the Arcense Center hasThe headquarters of these specific courses and workshops.Although Garcia says that not only the camp is made up of diabetic children, because they share activities and accommodation with other children who are not and also teach them to understand a way of life that they do not know mostly.It should be noted that most of the monitors who go on the part of the associations are kids who have participated in these courses and have wanted to continue teaching other children to live with diabetes.

Thus, during the stay of these minors in the school farm, they share experiences, they do sports, they perform workshops and especially learn to familiarize themselves with diabetes disease, understanding that their lives are the most normal with the exception of certain guidelinesthat once acquired make them be able to act with full autonomy.

As for the origin of the minors, almost all are from the province of Cádiz, the municipality that contributes to the camp is broken, but they also come from places as remote as Melilla.Seeing the faces of happiness it is easy to think about the good that this initiative does to the kids and their families.The doctor says that not very rarely the minors learn to control their insulin levels in these camps.The main reason is that these children are usually very protected and monitored by their families, so when they arrive at the camp, try to foster their autonomy, reinforcing confidence in themselves and learning to supply the treatment for themselves.All this has made most students repeat year after year in Buenavista, since it is, so to speak, as their summer house.

But not everything is treatment and issues related to diabetes;In addition to all that, pullolin, kayacs, pool or the manufacture of cheeses, bread ..., and the nocturnal activities in nature make this camp a very interesting leisure alternative.

Recommendations
On the other hand, the doctor in charge of the Diabetics camp wanted to make it clear that despite the fears that parents can have, making their children participate in these workshops will provide greater self -esteem to the boys.In addition, there are many people who work so that everything is correct and there is adequate attention.

In this way, he explains Garcia -from the cooks to the monitors, as well as nurses, they know what they have to do at all times and the students themselves are taught the protocol to follow in the event that problems arise.
