A BALLYDUFF mother and son joined Diabetes UK Northern Ireland at Stormont last week to mark World Diabetes Day and launch the charity?s new Children and Young Person?s Campaign.

Lynette and Curtis Irvine supported the initiative which aims to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of Type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes UK Northern Ireland has warned that more must be done to create awareness of the seriousness of Type 1 diabetes and the fact that 1 in 4 young people with diabetes are becoming dangerously ill with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) before a diagnosis is made due to vital symptoms not being spotted.
