Aileen O’Reilly is a freelance journalist, her diabetes story started 30 years ago at age 17 years. She is our guest post this week and shares a recent experience where she had to cancel a holiday to take care of some diabetes “crap” but her attitude holds me in admiration

This week’s post comes from Liam McMorrow, who is from the west of Ireland and has lived with type 1 diabetes for 16 years (diagnosed aged 12). Liam talks about patient led innovation as he is developing an app that can facilitate financial incentives to teenagers with type 1 diabetes for managing their diabetes.

The DIY Diabetes Tech day was such a great day!!! We recorded the event and will share the finished video next week. In the meantime, I decided to go back to basics of what is DIY Diabetes Tech.
