Hi, Thank you for visiting my page, to raide money for JDRF, a charity supporting children suffering from Type 1 Diabetes.

My story is that i have 5 beautiful children, 2 whom unfortunatly have developed Type 1 Diabetes, one at the age of 10 (now 21) and one at the age of 13 months (now 5years old).

This condition is VERY different from Type 2 Diabeese, as in thype 1 CANNOT be controlled by diet and lifestyle, whereas Type 2, can and is usually caused by this.

Type 1 is mostly diagnosed in children, and it is an"Auto Immune" condition, that attacks the pancreas so that it no longer produces insulin, insulin is vital to transport "glucose" ti vital organs, tissue and muscles, if there is no insulin present, the blood becomes "sticky" and this is when blood glucose rises, and causes problems , and damage to organs, you also begin to develop blood ketonnes, which in turncauses, severe problems, and medical attention is needed, before unconciousness, coma and eventually death.

This condition is a 24 hour a day7 days a week, lifelong condition, that you never get resoite or a break from, blood glucose monitoring around 7-12 times a day.

Please sponsor me to lose weight, a stone for each year my youngest boy has had type 1, so 4 years. (unfortunatly i cant do it for my older son as hes21, (not even i could lose 21 stone lol).
