University Hospitals/Rainbow Babies also has a wonderful program called Healthy Weight/Healthy Kids. It is actually a research study so there are no costs. I can feel your pain...my daughter was diagnosed with diabetes at age 11....she was 5 foot 4 and 246 lbs at the time. She has now just turned 13, and is down to 210 lbs (and 5 foot 9 inches tall) but it has been very hard. I can promise you though that type 2 diabetes is NO fun. My daughter participates in a wonderful therapeutic martial arts program that has helped her in many ways. >> The Cleveland Clinic has a great weight management program for kids. > I'm sure that it's Medicaid covered and/or covered by ins. > Also, the YMCA has scholarships ... you may be
