Delegates in Idaho
Delegate: Rachel
State: Idaho
Age: 12
Profile: Diagnosed at 14 months old, neither Rachel nor her family remember what it was like when she didn’t have it. Now 12, she has endured 29,000 finger pricks, and 4,000 shots before she got an insulin pump. An aspiring writer, Rachel also plays the piano and cello, and plays soccer and swims, and finds it challenging to enjoy these activities while trying to keep her blood sugar at the right level.
