A FATHER-OF-THREE from Ilminster is preparing for a cycle ride for Diabetes UK three months after his eldest son was diagnosed with the condition.
Matt Grice arranged the 100-mile ride after his seven-year- old son Henry was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Matt, 34, an air engineer officer in the Royal Navy, said: “Initially we put the noticeable weight loss, tiredness and thirst down to Henry growing and doing taekwondo five times a week.
“It was only when we caught him drinking direct from the tap excessively that my wife started to think about diabetes.
