Hi, I'm Caroline.
My Mother was a Type 1 Diabetic & was dying when insulin was introduced. I now have 2 daughters with Type 1. One developed it @ the age of 30 (now on an insulin pump having injected 4 times a day) & the other @ the age of 40 & injecting 4 times a day. I was lucky I only had Gestational Diabetes with my 1st pregancy (which never developed further).
It is so important that more people become aware of the complications Diabetes causes & of the great need for a cure.
