ILLNESS during the festive period can ruin a Christmas holiday, but Jack Burch, aged 15, has shown that with a few lifestyle tweaks, he can enjoy the season just as much as his friends.
Jack, from Coleford, was just 10 when his dad Chris noticed something wasn't quite right and began to get worried.
He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes the day before Christmas Eve 2009, one of three million people to have the condition.
Chris and his wife, Lucy, who also has diabetes, but have learned to live with it.
