What our members say:

"My son was diagnosed a few weeks ago.  It was a tremendous shock.  But the parents I've met at MK Kids with Diabetes have given much support"

Viv, Mum of Conner (Age 4)

"I don't like blood tests.  They make my fingers sore.  But, I was amazed when I saw 2 year old Danielle having blood tests without a fuss."

Jake (Age 11)

"It's so hard trying to cope on your own but the great thing is, now you don't have to".

Neil, Dad of Danielle (Age 2)

"The party was fun!!!"

Poppy (Age 4)

"It's very hard for our son.  Every day, he has several blood tests and injections and he has to constantly control what he eats.  He's the only child in his school year going through this but MK Kids with Diabetes gives him the chance to mix with other children going through the same thing."

Alison, Mum of William (Age 9).

"MK Kids with Diabetes is a great idea.  Since my 5 year old sister has had diabetes, I can't really eat sweets at home, but now I have friends with diabetic brothers and sisters it doesn't seem so bad.  We can cope!!!"

Louis (Age 13).

"Family, friends and the hospital try their best to help but the only people that truly understand what you are going through are other families of children with diabetes.  The group has made such a difference."
