Eleven years without a full night’s sleep, eleven years of constant finger pricks, needles and worry.

But behind the scenes, the struggles are daily, peppered with wins and loses, keeping everyone on their toes. Over the last 11 years the Scott family have dealt with a disease which impacts them all.
