By the time five-year-old Faith Robinson turns 18 she will have received over 20,000 insulin injections just to stay alive.
But unlike other Type 1 Diabetes sufferers she will not miss hundreds of days of school, thanks to one-to-one support at her school.
Faith, of West Pinchbeck, was diagnosed with the chronic condition when she was two years old after a chest infection attacked her pancreas.
Her mum, Gemma Robinson, said: “No two days are the same and everything is a battle.”
Faith’s body does not use sugars properly leaving her relying on regular insulin injections.

Surely not? I wonder where they got that statistic from?
