Technology advances transform life of young Millom diabetes sufferer

[Northerner]

A YOUNG girl who has seen her life transformed by the pioneering work of a national charity travelled to London to raise awareness about type one diabetes.

Jessie Lancaster, from Millom, was just five years old when she was diagnosed with type one diabetes and saw her young life turned upside down by having to inject herself with insulin four times a day.

However, thanks to the progressive work carried out by national charity JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), Jessie's life took a sudden turn for the better as new research enabled her to have access to the latest technology to make life that little bit easier.

Jessie's mum, Michelle Lancaster, said: "It's made a lot of things easier. It means she can eat when she wants or she doesn't have to eat if she doesn't want to.

Written by someone who doesnt understand what an insulin pump is or how it works, quite obviously. And is blissfully unaware of any other charity than JDRF, who have perhaps had a little too much of a hand in drafting the piece, methinks...
