Sophia's Story, shared by her mother, Veronica O'Donnell At just 14 months old, Sophia was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) after developing life threatening Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Her parents, Veronica and Neil, initially mistook her symptoms—Thirst, Energy reduced, Sudden weight change, and Toilet trips (TEST)—for common childhood illnesses. Amid COVID-19 restrictions, Sophia was rushed to hospital, where she received life-saving care. Now thriving, her journey highlights the importance of early T1D diagnosis and advances in diabetes technology. Veronica shares Sophia’s story to help other families recognise the TEST symptoms early. #CAAW25 #IPCCA2025 @CHI_Ireland @Diabetes_ie

Wrapping up an incredible week following the #MAGICI launch, a milestone in Irish cancer care. Huge thanks to all involved. As @CcoHse said: “A great example of the translation of new knowledge and advances in technology into improved patient outcomes.” Inspired to push forward!
