MEET Cheshire?s ambassador for national diabetes charity Input.
Brave Lymm tot Daisy Nurse was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was 17 months old and initially had to have two insulin jabs every day.
But the three-year-old?s life has been transformed after her parents Helen and Brett, of Masseybrook Lane, discovered an alternative way of controlling her condition.
An insulin pump now sits round her waist and means Daisy can eat what she wants, when she wants as long as the number of carbs the food contains is counted and programmed into the pump to release the correct amount of insulin.
It is a far cry from her original treatment from Warrington Hospital where the regime included feeding Daisy the same amount of food at the same time every day.
