On Wednesday, national diabetes charity JDRF went to Parliament to lobby the Government for increased funding towards finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Lee Kettle spoke to Hitchin man Owen Dunkley, who told how the condition once left him on the brink of death.
WHEN Owen Dunkley was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the young age of 8, like most diabetics he didn?t know what difference it would make on his life.
At first, Owen, of Sunnyside Road, grew to understand the condition and saw injections become a part of his usual routine.
But as time moved on, things took a turn for the worse, leaving Owen moments away from death during a three-month coma.
