Steps to A Type 1 Cure
Spencer (7) has been Type 1 since he was 2. Type 1 diabetes is very misunderstood and often confused with Type 2. Type 1 is an auto-immune disease, it is nothing to do with what you eat or how much exercise you do. There is currently no cure and has to be managed by carb counting everything you eat, multiple daily injections, finger pricks. Illness, emotions, the weather, food and many more things affect your blood sugar. No two days are the same. Spencer & I simply want to raise awareness as too many people die from undiagnosed Type 1. Spencer and a few of his friends have decided to walk 400,000 steps in 40 days (one step for every type 1 in the uk) Any funds kindly donated will go to JDRF who research for a cure, prevention and ways to make Type 1 more manageable on a day to day basis. Thankyou
