CHILDREN with diabetes and their families are giving a helping hand to Sheffield medics who are pioneering research into the condition.
The Children?s Hospital Charity is funding KickOff, a project designed to teach youngsters with Type 1 diabetes in Sheffield how to manage their condition. Courses show kids the importance of good blood glucose control, which it is hoped will lower the risk of them developing eye and kidney problems.
Sheffield Children?s Hospital?s diabetes medical and nursing team has gained experience into developing educational material too.
The next stage of the research is to run further educational courses for children aged four and 11.
