There are 350,000 people living with type-1 diabetes in the UK, a spokeswoman for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) has revealed.
Louisa Sampson revealed that the charity hopes to use World Diabetes Day (November 14th) to raise awareness of the disease, which is much less common than type-2 diabetes.
Ms Sampson explained that people with type-1 diabetes face 'serious complications' if they do not manage their blood glucose levels effectively.
