A teenager with type one diabetes has taken to the stage to urge people to stop letting a diagnosis hamper their lives.

Millie Hainge from Sharnford wants people with the incurable condition to “live their life to the fullest”.

The 13-year-old spread the defiant message at a conference by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF) at the National Space Centre in Leicester.

The ardent campaigner was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was nine and is using her story to make a difference.
