In this vlog I (eventually) tell you all about Beth’s Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis! Let’s just say it’s been an eventful day, hang on one cotton picking minute! It’s like that almost every week…I kid you not, no wonder I look so bloody awful in the video!

This was all back in 2008 and a long time has passed but, as a parent, the day of diagnosis sticks in your mind. It’s a bit like when mum’s gather for the first time and you have the inevitable pregnancy and labour stories. I guarantee anyone reading this, who has been through the same experience, will be able to draw upon similarities and see huge differences too. I’d love this vlog to open up that discussion so people newly diagnosed can take comfort that they’re not alone in their experience and others worried that a loved one may be diabetic can identify issues that are concerning them. Feel free to comment below, on the Youtube clip or both.

If you are worried about someone close and you think they may be showing sign of diabetes, please do not wait, get them to your GP to have a simple finger prick test and then if necessary a blood test. I’ve added links below to signs and symptoms of diabetes so take the time to check them out and get that diagnosis. Don’t leave it like we did, we nearly lost Beth that night.

    Well done you! You’re very natural on the camera. It’s really helpful to share things like this because for others in the same position it makes them feel that they’re not alone…and for people like me, it makes me more aware of what it’s like… Brilliant.

    My nephew was diagnosed as a diabetic aged 6, he struggled with it for a while, but now that he is a grown up he won’t let it stop him he went traveling last year for 3 months I think as long as you are sensible about this condition you can live a fairly normal life #[email protected]_karendennis

      Definitely, It’s never held Bethany back. Gosh! I hope this doesn’t make people think that! This is literally the diagnosis story, we’ve 9 years of dealing with it since and yes there are challenges, like this bloomin weather which makes insulin more effective and therefore more risk of hypo’s but we’ve never made it an issue. It is what it is. Fab to hear about your nephew, I love Beth to spread her wings and do something like that <3
