✨ Is She Allowed That? Type 1 Diabetes and Me ✨
A powerful, honest and inspiring story about living with Type 1 diabetes — the challenges, the questions, the resilience, and the courage it takes to navigate everyday life.
This book is more than a personal journey inspired by Amyra. It is a voice for awareness, understanding and inclusion. It reminds us why lived experience matters, why children and young people with Type 1 diabetes deserve compassion, support and confidence, and why no one should ever feel limited by their diagnosis

Diabetes UK are delighted to share the launch today of the results of , a national Diabetes UK funded study led by Prof May Ng OBE , a major milestone in our collective effort to address ongoing inequities in access to diabetes technologies. The study demonstrates that despite national guidance, for more than a decade, children and young people from ethnic minority and lower socioeconomic backgrounds are still less likely to access life-changing diabetes technologies, with clear implications for health outcomes. This study, reinforces the collaborative leadership and awareness needed in addressing health inequalities and driving meaningful change in diabetes care.
