A three-year-old girl who was initially diagnosed with a virus but later told she had Type 1 diabetes is helping to raise awareness so other parents can spot tell-tale signs.
Paisley Coeator - whose 'diabetic diamond' social media pages are being widely shared - started to become "a lot more tired than usual" and "wouldn't walk more than a few steps" when she was aged one, her mum has revealed. Mum Leigh said she then started showing signs of increased thirst and was "soaking through her nappies".
The 30-year-old said: "It started off when she was one. She started becoming a lot more tired than usual, she wouldn't walk more than a few steps which was very unlike Paisley. Even though she was one, she loved to push her little baby brother around in his pram.
