Meet Wyatt. He was diagnosed with T1D shortly after his 5th Birthday. It was the end of the summer and he missed the first week of kindergarten while he was in the hospital. Since then he continued to play soccer then eventually started playing football at the age of 7. He's 12 now, in 7th grade. He continues to play sports, wrestling and football. He loves riding dirt bikes and is begging his mother to let him race. He ALWAYS gives his all in sports and never let's his diabetes stop him. Of course he gets down and wishes he could just be normal but he never gives up!!!!!! Playing sports and in all of his activities there's extra caution and preparation involved but he is living life to the fullest.
