DIABETES sufferer Mark Walton?s struggle with and profound anger at a condition he felt helpless to control reached an unexpected resolution thanks to the power of social media.
Mark, 26, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12 but lived in stubborn denial of the incurable illness, gambling with his health and hoping the symptoms would just vanish if he ignored them long enough.
But two years ago his life took a radical turn as he found a valuable support network, advice and friendship from people grappling with the same feelings of powerlessness on Twitter.
