Morgan's story: relying on family for emotional support

Morgan Shaw

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 15

Although my dad’s work revolves around diabetes I was quite ignorant to it. Work is separate from family life so I didn’t really know what life with diabetes would entail before my diagnosis.

Morgan was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 15 when her dad, a diabetes researcher, recognised the symptoms. Although it's been difficult at times, with support from her parents, she's determined to not let her diabetes affect the way she lives her life.
