This is Jadie, age 10 who has had diabetes for just 3 months. We did the shoot in my local park, she's roller-skating with her dog, Tia. Recently diagnosed she is still getting used to her new life with diabetes. She says....

To begin with it wasn't so bad did my own bloods from the begining and then started injecting myself after about 3 weeks . had a bad week this month because my injections started to hurt and I don't want to be diabetic anymore but it has it’s plus sides, I can eat in class when my friends can't. Being diabetic hasn't stopped me doing anything, I go roller skating nearly every day and Tia can pull me along. I swim with my friends and love playing on my trampoline. I don't feel any different to my friends but they all know if have a hypo when I am with them, as long as have my packet of dextrose tablets with me I am fine’
