Trigger warning: this post contains details of an infant's death. ⚠️ This week, there has been an inquest into the heartbreaking death of Lyla Story. Lyla passed away from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) before she received a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our thoughts are with Lyla’s family and all who loved her. Help raise awareness of the early signs of type 1 diabetes – the 4Ts: - Tired - Toilet (going more often) - Thirsty - Thinner Sharing this information could save someone’s life. Find out more about the signs and symptoms of T1D: bit.ly/4g5c5OW @triggersbroom17 #GBDoc
