Living with type 1 diabetes: 'It makes life a little more complicated'

The incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising globally, especially in Ireland. Sharon Ní Chonchúir talks to a family that has learned to live with the condition.

Life in the Would household in Croom, Co Limerick, differs a little from the norm. The family fridge is stocked with emergency energy drinks and back-up stores of insulin. Mealtimes see dad Richard, Aedín, 15, and Orran, 13, weighing food and carrying out mathematical calculations before they eat while mum Jenny and Callum, 10, tuck in regardless.
