Willow Shawl doesn't like to draw attention to her Type 1 diabetes. If a stranger asks about the insulin pump clipped to her jeans, the 10-year-old will say it's an iPod. She will sometimes forgo checking her blood sugar levels to avoid the stares of her classmates as she pricks her finger.
So for a time in third grade ? when she started coming home from school with unusually high blood sugar levels ? her parents suspected she was slacking in her daily routine. Willow insisted otherwise.
