DIABETIC Chris Bloor is hoping to raise awareness of what she describes as a 'silent killer'.
The 67-year-old was diagnosed with type two diabetes 21 years ago. The condition affects the body's ability to process sugar or glucose.
It means the 67-year-old has to inject insulin twice a day just to keep her blood sugar levels as normal as possible.
And she believes her condition has also contributed to her having being diagnosed with heart disease.
Ms Bloor was rushed to hospital during a holiday in Finland in 1998 after suffering five angina attacks.
Now the grandmother-of-three is urging other diabetes sufferers to take the condition seriously.
