A Co Down woman has shared her experience of living with type 1 diabetes and the journey she has been on since her diagnosis over a decade ago.
Gemma Bell-Gibson from Bangor has given a very stark and real insight into what it is like to be diagnosed with the condition and the impact it can have on your physical and emotional wellbeing.
As part of this year’s Diabetes Week, Gemma has joined Diabetes UK Northern Ireland in its call for greater awareness and understanding of this condition, which is very often misunderstood and underestimated.
