Families & Type 1 Diabetes

Why my child?

In this Type 1 Diabetes video, participants explain the difficult process of coming to terms with their child's condition. Often diagnosis is met with great shock, and sometimes even guilt, as parents and children adjust to the ways in which this condition will change their lives.

These 'Speaking From Experience' clips offer first hand accounts from young people with Type 1 Diabetes and their parents.
