For children a week or two at camp gives them friends and memories that last a lifetime. For children with diabetes a diabetes summer camp is the perfect way to meet others living with diabetes and to learn about how others manage the everyday challenges that a preteen or teenager have when it comes to diabetes.
Now imagine a diabetes camp that is specific to cycling. www.teamnovonordisk.com/team-novo-nordisk-2018-talent-id-camps/Team Novo Nordisk Talent ID Camps are just that, camps where diabetes and cycling are the main focus. Team Novo Nordisk created these camps to find young cyclists with diabetes in hopes of finding young cyclists that will one day be members of the Team Novo Nordisk pro team. These camps were created with diabetes as the main objective, with talent id camps the team could teach teenagers how to be successful with diabetes while riding the bike. The camps are by no means easy, people that attend will be challenged on the bike as they ride very difficult roads in and around Athens, Georgia.

As I said this camp is about diabetes, yes people that attend these camps can ride a bicycle really well but they are forming a bond through diabetes. Just like any other diabetes camp the campers are sharing how they manage their diabetes on the bike with other campers. They will also be learning from members of Team Novo Nordisk how they manage their diabetes while racing all over the world.
I had the honor of spending a few days at camp a couple years back and I must say that it changed me as a person living with diabetes. I learned so much about cycling with diabetes, and diabetes in general. From proper food choices to my target range before going on a ride. I could have easily filled a notebook with all that I learned. What impressed me the most however was that the members of Team Novo Nordisk made the camp fun!! You're sitting in a "class" talking about diabetes and you're making friends from with people from across the globe. I went as a member of the media and I formed real friendships with a number of riders that are now on the development and pro teams. These are true friendships, I get emails and messages on social media asking how I'm doing and how the family is. It is crazy how this camp can change someones life.
For anyone living with diabetes between the ages 15 and 23 that has an interest in cycling this camp is something you need to check out. If you're a little nervous or don't know what to expect don't hesitate to contact Morgan Brown at Morgan.Brown@teamnovonordisk.com She will answer any questions you may have. My hope is to be at the 2019 camp as a member of the media yet again. I love the stories from the attendees and I love seeing what the future holds for Team Novo Nordisk!!
