When Abbie Davis, 10, was sick as a toddler, her parents put it down to a bout of ill health - a bug that would eventually pass.
The Blenheim couple never suspected type-1 diabetes to be the cause.
Type-1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition which can be managed through medication, exercise and a healthy eating plan.
Paula Davis said that her daughter had weeks of throat and chest infections as a 3-year-old.
"She got all the bugs conceivable over six to seven weeks.

"Abbie has been injecting insulin into her bloodstream to keep her glucose levels in check since the age of 5." I sincerely hope not! 😱
