My daughter was just five years old when she was diagnosed with T1 diabetes. She was very nervous about having to inject and do blood tests regularly but, with plenty of support, she now does most of her care independently.

She has had an insulin pump since May 2015 for which she has to carb count everything she eats. Her siblings are very good at helping her and we are amazed by how well she is coping with such a massive change.

Diabetes treatment is evolving very quickly and this can only happen with regular donations to JDRF, allowing those living with the condition to lead the lives they deserve.
