We had a great day today at Kinellar with @DiabetesScot! We were too busy to get photographs 🫣, but it was great to speak to so many of you.

What a heartbreaking story 😭.

T1 parents are aware of the devastating effects of undiagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes.

This video highlights the need for us to raise awareness & be vigilant 💙

Our @BeckyPa19152241 has done us proud! She was on a mission to make the bags we're donating to the diabetes team for newly diagnosed families, the best we could manage. I'm sure you'll agree she nailed it!
Smiggle pencil cases, Captain Lantus books, coffee cups, toiletries....

Steve Morgan is a very successful property developer and dad of a T1 warrior. What an amazing donation to help all T1s and to give us all hope of a cure, maybe in our lifetime.

[Grampian T1 Diabetes Family Group @GT1_DFG]

This is such an exciting piece of work being done to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes in Scotland!!
