5. This is what the Insulin Pump looks like on a young child with diabetes, we personally want our son Aaron Junior to have it installed when he turns 2 years old… younger than that seems a little complicated and unfortunately we will still have to inject him with insulin ourselves until then. Thank God for technology! Veronique Legault (Team Captain and mother of a child with Juvenile Diabetes)
