Banting is a 12 year old boy who plays in the creek with his friends. He has diabetes, and keeps a pocket full of snacks. He's quiet, letting his friends who call themselves the pirate's of the creek create chaos. His first name is Fredrick, named after the creator of insulin. He has short, dark hair and bushy eyebrows. He wears a cut up black t-shirt, purplish pants with a large black belt. He has a glucose checker on his stomach that's hooked to his pants and a patch on his arm.
