The parents of a six-year-old girl have described the moment she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Jayne and Mike Fairclough from St Helens were told their daughter Libby had the serious and unpreventable condition in 2019, when she was aged three. Looking back, Jayne said: “All the signs were there, but we knew nothing about diabetes and never thought it would be that.
“We weren’t prepared for what was to come – diabetes took over our lives. Libby would cry with every blood test, every injection – it was really tough for all of us.”
