Students Get Personal Lesson on Diabetes

The parents of a kindergarten student at Mountain Road Elementary School visited the school recently to educate students about diabetes. Chris and Kerry Kiser's son, Canon, has juvenile diabetes and uses an insulin pump while at school. A first-grader at the school with Type 1 diabetes attended the program. "Lenny The Lion" shared with the students what a person with Type 1 diabetes does to take care of himself/herself, and how friends can help including knowing the signs for high and low blood sugar. Canon's father works for Medtronics, which designs technology relative to Type 1 diabetes and other diseases. "Their goal is to educate all who are involved in Canon's life and the lives of others with Type 1 diabetes," said Principal Jennifer Landry. "The presentation was light-hearted, and the kids had fun and learned something, too!"
