This is Ben. Right now he is enrolled in a clinical trial to help others, like himself, who battle diabetes.
He is doing this trial as YOU READ THIS ARTICLE.
He could be playing somewhere. He could be watching TV. He could also not be hooked up to medical equipment at this very moment. You can see by his face that he is okay where he is. He is amazing and his mon wrote on her page, today. “….. we chose to ‘Don’t do Nothing’…..”
I cried when I read that as so many know that is my mantra, to ‘Don’t do Nothing’.
Ben you ARE ABSOLUTELY DIabetes Dad’s hero of the week.
Please reply to this blog and let Ben know how great he is for doing this artificial pancreas trial.
GO Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a diabetes dad.

Ben, you are an absolute star! Proud to know and your mummy, hope they give you lots of treats for being such a brave boy! CWD mums certainly don’t ‘just don’t do nothing’ because we know ‘diabetes just won’t do’
Go for it Ben!!! You are a hero!!
Hey Ben!
Without the sacrifices made by people like you there would no progress in the world of medicine and we would still be stuck using leeches to cure everybody’s ills. Well done my man for making the world a better – and much less slimy – place.

Ben is awesome(and his parents too)!!! Seriously, most of us just struggle to adjust, but he’s doing so much more! Everyone loves you, Ben!!
Go Ben! You are AMAZING!
Thanks Tom!! Now I’m crying. After I went to FFL in Windsor I decided that I needed to do more but find it hard to know what or how. So here we are doing this tonight and again in 2 weeks.
Thank you for all you do.
