A TEENAGER living with Type 1 diabetes has today thanked the dedicated team at Ipswich Hospital’s diabetic clinic as a national charity warns youngsters across the UK need better care.
Bethany Southgate-Ash, 13, from Brantham, has vowed the condition will not rule her life, as mum Ve Pascoe passed on her daughter’s thanks to the team.
It comes as Diabetes UK reveal young adults with Type 1 diabetes are more likely to die because they are not getting the healthcare they need to manage their condition.
Young women with the condition are nine times more likely to die than their peers and young male diabetics are four times more likely to die.
