Oliver

Oliver was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 5 years old, two days after Christmas 2006. Oliver had an extremely tough time when he was diagnosed but has bounced back and has carried on no matter what life and his diabetes has thrown at him.

His younger sister Alexandra has been very patient with the situation, even though she is only 4 she knows where his finger pricker, insulin and medic kit are in an emergency and accepts that he can behave oddly, be tearful and get sweets at times she isn't allowed. 

His Diagnoses has changed the whole families lives so IDDT think they all need a huge well done for all coping so incredibly well.

Cedar Road School

The kids at Cedar Road Primary School in Northampton (Class 5EG) have been supporting kids with diabetes by learning more about the condition. All the kids listen and learnt about diabetes and what to do if someone they know had a hypo. A big thank you to the kids and the school for taking the time to listen and learn.

Grace was diagnosed on 4th of Dec 07 at age two and a half. She has just had her first HBA1C test and she was extremely brave so IDDT have decided she needs a huge well done and we wish her good luck with your results.
