EVERY time the Macpherson children put food in their mouth, a meticulous set of routines begins.
Each serving of food is weighed to the gram, the carbohydrate content is calculated and recorded in a book, and their insulin levels are tested.
Identical twins Connor and Ayden, 10, and their seven-year-old sister, Isabella, have their fingers pricked for a blood glucose test at least 30 times a day.
All three children have type 1 diabetes, despite neither parent having the condition. The children face a lifetime of juggling food, exercise and insulin injections to balance their unstable blood glucose levels.

Hmm...I suspect their blood glucose levels are tested, not their insulin levels...🙄 I also presume that's 30 tests in total, not for each child! 😱
