SILVER LAKE, Kan. (WIBW) - Living with type one diabetes can be a challenge for anyone, let alone when you're just seven-years old.
But Silver Lake second grader Lily Schuckman appears up to the task. She giggles with ther friends as they skip around the school gym during a fitness session.
She's explained to them, quite simply, "my pancreas doesn't work."
Lily was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just over a year ago, when she was six years old. Her mom, Tonia, says they suspected a problem when, one day in the car, she kept screaming for a drink of water.
