Young People with Diabetes

Food issues

In this Type 1 Diabetes video, participants discuss how this condition has impacted upon diet. Diabetes can be managed by controlling diet and regular medication. Some foods contain high amounts of sugar, and therefore intake should be regulated. It is also important for diabetics to eat food at regular times, so that blood sugar levels remain steady. 

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