A Norwich diabetic has helped to educate MPs about type one diabetes as part of a landmark lobby group.
Amy Turner travelled to the Houses of Parliament with other supporters of the charity JDRF, which raises funds for research into type one diabetes.
The 29-year-old, who lives off Elm Hill, said wanted to help raise awareness of the condition among MPs and to encourage them to take action to increase funding into medical research into type one diabetes.
She said: ?We definitely got our point across, made quite a lot of noise and raised the profile of the condition.
?We and the charity are now trying to capitalise on what we have started.?

I know lots of our other members were there, let's hope it makes a difference 🙂
