I reposted this yesterday. Maybe you missed it, here it is again. How devastating a #T1D diagnosis can be to a parent is clear. The confusion for a child, I know well. I was diagnosed on my 8th birthday. Merry Christmas, Franklin 💙🎅
☃️ #ATypeOfChristmas written at 3.40am this morning. Even after a year of Franklin's #Type1Diabetes diagnoses, it's still raw. I hope there's relatable comfort in this. Sending love to all raising awareness of @MyDiabetesStory & the amazing work of @JDRFUK & @DiabetesUK #GBDoc
