A seven-year-old pupil has inspired his school to make the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) their chosen charity of the year.
Andrew Ferrol, a pupil at St John’s Primary School in Worksop, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was three-years-old.
So far, Andrew has had 15,200 finger pricks, 252 injections and 608 canulla insertions.
Andrew’s mum, Sam Ferrol said: “Andrew needs full support to manage his condition and this means that he needs extra help at school to keep him safe.”
“This has prompted the school to help raise awareness and funds for JDRF in the hope of making people and schools more aware of children with Type 1 diabetes within the education system.”
