Is that an Omnipod on his arm? Bless him. Mums have such a lot of things to watch out for, like checking through a glass if a babe has spots just in case it's meningitis apart from temperature and headaches and pooh and wee and this that and the other.

Good on them for sharing their son’s story to promote awareness. This shows why publicity about Type 1 is so important.
