There are a growing number of children in the UK developing Type 1 diabetes and no doubt some of these children will be in your area.
The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust offers support and a listening ear to the thousands of parents and other family members that are faced with this life-changing condition. Our new Parents Bulletin is now available, as is our free children’s goodie bag for all new members.
The latest Parents Bulletin tackles such issues as building self-confidence in children with diabetes and some practical aspects of diabetes such as the effects of different needle sizes.
It also has our extremely popular Hall of Fame where we let children know how proud of them we are for all their achievements, no matter how big or small.
We really hope you will help the hundreds of parents of children with diabetes in your area. The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust is here to help.
Beverley Freeman, Charity Co-ordinator, Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust.
