The number of people being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Scotland has been rising steadily for a number of years now. Trusadh looks at the everyday risks and challenges for those diagnosed.

It's mostly younger people who are diagnosed with the illness, usually while they're children. There are also particular dangers for those who become pregnant if they have the illness, and worryingly an increasing number of small babies are now being diagnosed. However, through careful management, a full and active life can be lived.

Insulin injections have long been the main treatment for the illness, but recent technological breakthroughs now mean that groundbreaking insulin pumps are being used more and more and are making a massive difference to the lives of those with type 1.
