💙 BEYOND BLOOD GLUCOSE – KNOW THE 4Ts! 💙

🚨 Recognising the signs of Type 1 Diabetes could save a life!

Did you know that Type 1 Diabetes can develop at ANY age?

Every year, children, teenagers and adults are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, but not everyone recognises the warning signs.

At Lochlan’s Legacy, we want EVERYONE to know the 4Ts of Type 1 Diabetes.

🚽 TOILET – Needing to wee more often than usual, especially at night.

💧 THIRSTY – Feeling constantly thirsty, even after drinking.

😴 TIRED – Feeling unusually tired, exhausted or lacking energy.

⚖️ THINNER – Losing weight without trying.

These symptoms can develop quickly and should NEVER be ignored.

🚨 If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or someone else, seek urgent medical advice and ask for a blood glucose test.

Type 1 Diabetes can lead to a life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) if left undiagnosed.

💙 Lochlan was just 4 years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We know firsthand how important early recognition and awareness are.

You don’t need to live with Type 1 Diabetes to make a difference. You just need to know the signs.

📢 Please LIKE, COMMENT and SHARE this post with your friends, family, schools and communities. This helps spread awareness 💙

Because the next person you help could be someone you love. 💙

💙 DAY 2 – TYPE 1 DIABETES: THE FACTS! 💙

How much do you really know about Type 1 Diabetes?

There's still so much misunderstanding surrounding this lifelong condition, so let's get the facts straight!

🔹 It's an autoimmune condition.
The immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

🔹 It isn't caused by eating too much sugar.
Diet, weight and lifestyle do not cause Type 1 Diabetes.

🔹 It can develop at ANY age.
Babies, children, teenagers and adults can all be diagnosed.

🔹 Insulin is essential for survival.
People living with Type 1 need insulin every day because their bodies produce little or no insulin.

🔹 There is currently no cure.
But with the right treatment, technology, understanding and support, people with Type 1 can live full, active lives.

At Lochlan's Legacy, we're passionate about breaking down the misconceptions surrounding Type 1 Diabetes.

Because education creates understanding, and understanding breaks down barriers. 💙

💙 BEYOND BLOOD GLUCOSE 💙

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and this year Lochlan's Legacy is going beyond the numbers!

Because living with Type 1 Diabetes is about so much more than blood glucose readings.

It's the decisions nobody sees.
The interrupted sleep.
The challenges, emotions and everyday realities.

But it's also about resilience, achievements, friendships, ambitions and living life to the fullest! 💙

Throughout November, we'll be sharing 30 days of awareness, real stories, education and young people's voices.

✨ Breaking down misconceptions.
💙 Raising awareness that could save lives.
🗣️ Giving young people a voice.
🙌 Celebrating the T1D community.

30 Days. 30 Conversations. One Powerful Message.
