T1D daily management through Camps
Camps for young people with T1DM which focus on diabetes are invaluable. They provide the following:
• The active camping environment as a teaching opportunity is an invaluable way to gain skills in managing their disease within the supportive camp community in Tanzania
• Meeting, socializing and making friends with others with Diabetics
• A place to learn self-confidence and independence from family and simply to have a great time
• A place to share fears and personal issues in a relaxed environment away from clinics, through peer to peer discussions and with health care staff.
Our aim is to set up a variety of different camps with a competitive spirit – such as Sport, Music, Public Speaking and Television interviews.
• Skills and Physical stamina Camps – the emphasis on increasing self – knowledge, clarifying values, strengthening decision- making skills and setting goals, all life skill to help chart a path towards independence with confidence.
• Introduction of competition between the 36 T1DM clinics
