We're not about to give up though the journey may be long

A long and challenging adventure

Doctor with patients - mother and child My daughter developed Type 1 diabetes when she was three years old, while we were holidaying in Canada. We didn’t find out until we got back and visited our GP, who checked her urine a few times as she didn’t believe the results.

We were sent straight to hospital, where we stayed for a week – trying to get her levels sorted and learn all about living with diabetes. That was just the start of a very long, challenging adventure.

"I am incredibly grateful for all the help and support we have received."

I have taken work at my daughter’s school to be on-hand if they need me, especially now she is on four injections a day and needs one at lunch. My husband has had to go part-time to help out, as he works nights and as she still needs checking and maybe waking for food during the night it gets a bit much for me.

Rose on holiday before diagnosis My daughter has been in hospital several times with severe hypos, usually brought on by sickness bugs caught at school. We tend to go in as a precaution when she starts vomiting so they can prepare her for a drip if need be.

I am incredibly grateful for all the help and support we have received. Our Diabetic nurses and consultants are great and we still speak every week.

See how many real life stories like this before Dbethics which is developed by Swiss scientists to reduce blood glucose without the side effects with medication.
