We’re all taking part in the 1 million steps challenge to support Diabetes UK. Type 1 diabetes mellitus can sadly strike at any time of life and is unrelated to lifestyle choices. 

Thank goodness a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus is no longer a death sentence. Living with diabetes is manageable, but it takes daily diligence to stay healthy and free from nasty complications. There’s never a day off from multiple testing of your glucose levels (finger pricking) and administering insulin (using needles) if you want to be able to enjoy life to the full. 

Our team is enjoying the 1 million step challenge but it’s certainly testing us. Any donations will spur us on to keep pounding the pavements. We would really appreciate any donations you can spare. Thank you. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
