A GROUP of mums who have started up a type one diabetes support group for parents of children with the disease will tell you they sleep with one eye open.
Most people make the mistake that type one diabetes is caused by too much sugar in a child?s diet or unhealthy eating behaviours, but there is no known reason and no cure.
Hearing for the first time that their children have type one diabetes ? for life - was heartbreaking and confusing for the parents of these three young ones.
These children also have to deal with bullying at school and their classmates who don?t understand why they don?t get to have a lolly in class too.
