Toby's story

Almost 2 years ago I became poorly and was told by the doctors that I had Type 1 Diabetes. They explained to me that this is when your pancreas stops producing insulin. I had done nothing wrong it is just one of those things that happen to some people.

I have to check my blood throughout the day, which means I have to prick my finger with a small needle to see what my blood sugar levels are. I can do this up to 10 times in a day. I also have to have 5 injections throughout the day which I do in different parts of my body.

All my friends understand and everyone tells me that I cope really well and how mature and brave I am about it all.

Since I was small I have joined my family in fundraising events for TreeHouse School and asked my mum this year if we could fundraise for Diabetes. I am looking forward to walking for JDRF with a lot of my friends.

Thank you for supporting me.

Love Toby xx

Mum says - I am so proud of Toby and how he takes it all in his stride and for wanting to fundraise for his cause.

Thank you for sponsoring him - he will be checking his page regularly! For more information on the wonderful work that JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) do please visit their website: www.jdrf.org.uk
