Katelyn Baker, 12, has to check her blood sugar about 12 times a day to make sure her body is stable.
The Pegasus School seventh-grader, who has had Type 1 diabetes since she was 3, has been selected to serve as a youth ambassador for the Orange County chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International.
She and classmate Josh Morrison, 13, who is in his second year as a youth ambassador, will serve as the faces of Type 1 diabetes, bring awareness and help dispel misconceptions about the disease.
The two were selected because of their commitment and enthusiasm, said Michelle Popoff, outreach manager for the Orange County chapter.
