CARE SUPERKID
Kaitlyn Amey of Port Huron is an active 13-year old girl. A seventh
grader at Chippewa Middle School, she plays basketball, is a cheerleader,
and dances five hours a week at the Huron Physical Arts Center
in Port Huron. She enjoys hanging out with friends and watching
the Detroit Red Wings with her dad. She also lives with Diabetes.
Kaitlyn was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes at age 5. At a young
age, she learned to give herself injections of insulin. She is
now hooked up to a pump that gives her automatic injections, but
she must keep track of the carbohydrates in all of the food she
eats to ensure she gets the right amount of insulin. Despite needing
to monitor the disease 24-hours a day, Kaitlyn still leads a normal
life. “It doesn’t stop her from anything,” dad Brad Amey said.
She agrees. “Just because you have Diabetes, you can’t let it get
you down,” she said. “You can do whatever you want to.”
