IMAGINE having to prick your fingers up to eight times a day before being injected with life-saving insulin five times daily.
For Sunshine Coast children such as Jacob Lowns and the thousands of other Australians living with Type 1 diabetes, this is their life.
But that routine is something Jacob's dedicated grandmother, Tineke Dean, and mothers Jackie Goldston and Lee Maker, are trying to change.
The three women met while volunteering for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and together organised the Walk to Cure Diabetes this Sunday.
