Blood tests and insulin injections

In this Type 1 Diabetes video, participants discuss establishing a medical routine for their child. This can be one of the most difficult parts of adjusting to the illness as, at first, it may cause the child some distress. Parents also discuss any side-effects they have encountered. 

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