A PIONEERING way to manage diabetes has changed the life of the first county youngster to get it on the NHS, his mother has said.
Type 1 diabetes sufferer Charlie Evans has worn a device that monitors his blood sugar level taped to his back for the last year.
If it detects he is getting too much insulin it sends a signal to another device that administers a drug to the eight-year-old to rectify the problem.
And it can tell if his blood sugar is dropping too low, cutting the risk of life-threatening hyperglycemic episodes.
Now he has raised ?900 for a diabetes charity to raise awareness of the condition.

Such a poor report.
