We at TEAS are undertaking a 10 mile walk across the bridges of London to raise money for Diabetes UK.

Diabetes is something that affects us all at TEAS, in one way or another, and it is affecting more and more people each day. I'm sure all of you know someone who lives with Diabetes. There are many variations of conditions under the Diabetes umbrella, but all of them are life changing in a major way.

Please dig deep and sponsor us on our quest to find a cure. You can either click on the link below (you can sponsor any one of us!) or donate via text using the info on the picture. Every pound counts and will hopefully take us closer to a cure.

Thank you!

I think there is a huge lack of knowledge about diabetes. Because my daughter, Hannah, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as an adult, rather than as a child, as most are, I really didn't understand it properly. In August 2013 I got a call to say she had gone home from work poorly on the Tuesday and although they had heard from her first thing Wednesday morning, no-one had heard from her since and it was now mid morning on the Thursday. She was found collapsed on the floor and was in a very bad way. She had been there for over 24 hours and was only hours from death. Her work colleagues saved her life that day! Hannah spent three weeks in hospital and was in intensive care for a week. This was the worst time of my life! It was during this time that I realised the true implications of diabetes.

On the first anniversary of her admittance to hospital, Hannah wrote a blog about what had happened to her. You can read her blog here Hannah Postles
