Diabetes came into our lives and turned everything upside down. My daughter Daisy was diagnosed with Type 1 when she was three-years old.
She was so very poorly and thankfully she was admitted to hospital before her illness was critical.
Daisy had to endure endless finger prick testing and injections.
We as a family learned to count carbohydrates in food, administer her insulin and monitor her glucose levels.
Six years on, life is much easier now. Daisy wears an insulin pump and uses the FreeStyle Libre system, both of which have been life-changing.
Daisy is fierce, loving and extremely sassy and I am beyond proud of her.
And here’s her take on what it’s like to live with Type 1.
