LOOKING at the smiling faces of brother and sister Max and Olivia Elvy ? are you able to tell which of them is suffering from a chronic life-threatening condition?
They share the same happy home, but their daily routines could not be more different.
That is because four years ago seven-year-old Max was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Now wherever he goes one of the first things he takes with him is his insulin.
The daily injections he has to give himself have become as much a part of his routine as brushing his teeth.
For his parents, Victoria and Nick, living with diabetes is a harsh reality. The slightest change in Max?s blood sugar levels could cause him to suffer a ?hypo?.
