Kyle Short, a very creative 11-year-old, makes what he calls “D-art”, which is art that uses disposable and safe diabetes supplies to make works of art. Kyle was diagnosed in 2009 and is currently using an insulin pump. The holiday season can be an especially tough time to stay healthy and on top of your diabetes management.
