Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

On 27th August I found myself in hospital with Type 1 Diabetes. I was shocked and scared and my life suddenly looked very different. I found out that I had to prick my finger and test my blood sugar every time I eat anything and every time I feel funny, (which is a lot). I have to have insulin every time I eat, which is hard because I have always been very scared of needles. I now have a pump, but still have to add up all the carbohydrates of everything I eat and drink and make sure that my sugar levels are good so that I can be healthy. 

Even when I was in hospital, though, I decided that I would be ok. I would overcome my needle phobia and make sure that my life would not be ruled by diabetes. I want to do the same things as everyone else and I wont let T1 D stop me.  I heard that JDRF were raising money for a cure that might be ready soon and want to help. I will be walking 5K which will be hard on my blood sugars and my mum will come with me, but I want to do this to prove I can and to stop diabetes and help others. Will you help me please?
