Hello everyone.

As some of you may, or may not, be aware at the age of 8 years old I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

“Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high because your body can’t make a hormone called insulin.”

Type 1 cannot be reversed, it does not go away, there are no holidays from it and, unfortunately, there is no cure……yet.

For this reason, I have decided to take on the One Million Step Challenge for Diabetes UK.

My main target is to raise awareness of this chronic illness, give an insider’s view of what it is like to live with T1D on a daily/weekly basis.

Over the next 3 months I will be updating you on how my challenge is going and throwing in some not so fun facts regarding diabetes.

So, if you fancy chipping in to help find a cure and be a hero, I’m not going to say no. Each penny will be gratefully received.

Not so fun fact 1: Type 1 Diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar!!! However, if you eat too much sugar and don’t take insulin when you’re diabetic, things can get pretty rough!

Thanks for reading,
