- JamaicaObserver.com: "'EAT lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise every day and diabetes will go go go...' sang three-year-old Kiara Lumsden to the tune of a popular nursery rhyme as she jiggled her small frame while having lunch, consisting of a small serving of rice and peas, baked chicken and lettuce.
Despite her carefree attitude, Kiara leads a very restricted life. Each day for her begins the same way it ends, with a needle piercing her delicate skin. She takes insulin three times daily to treat her type one diabetes and is pricked another six times to test her blood glucose level. At just three, she can recite the nutritional contents on a favourite snack as she would her alphabet, and her bedtime is at 12 midnight following her sixth test."
