London Roller Marathon app for iPhone and iPad

In March 2013, Lauren, the daughter of a close friend of mine, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Lauren was only 9 at the time. Her diagnosis came as a complete shock for her family and those of us who were close to them. As we saw their lives change, as they learnt to cope with this potentially life threatening condition, I also saw my own outlook on life change. Laurens life would never be the same and neither would her familys. Each new day presented itself with a new challenge; how to manage fluctuating blood glucose levels, how to cope with the amount of blood tests and numerous insulin injections. All of these challenges had to be overcome just so that Lauren could do all the things that other 9 year old do, such as run in the park, go swimming or eat an ice-cream. I witnessed that for Lauren and her family, these every day activities, which so many of us take for granted, were now over shadowed by the fact that she now had Type 1 diabetes. A condition for which at present there is no cure.
Being so close to Laurens family and seeing the impact that it had on all of them, I was moved to search for a way to increase public awareness about Type 1 diabetes.
