My cat Luna likes to sleep on his back.
We are having very hot days at the moment, so he likes to sleep on the cool floor boards under the table.
We were lucky enough to have a camera nearby, and get a shot of my favourite and funniest photo of my cat. 
This is what Luna looks like when he is not pretending to be a yawning human.
Our pets bring lots of laughter and smiles into our home. 
My name is Lance-a-lot, I'm eight years old and I live near Brisbane, Australia, with my mum, Kate, and my whippet, Chino. I also live with Type 1 Diabetes. I chose the name Lance-a-lot because I have had 8000 injections of insulin over the past six years so that I can stay alive. In July, 2008, I commenced insulin therapy via my Medtronic Minimed 722 Insulin Pump. I'm not a diabetic; I'm just an Aussie kid who happens to have Type 1 Diabetes.
This is Kate, my mum. She wants to tell the world my story, and teach others about what life is like for people with Type 1 Diabetes..
If you have any questions about type 1 diabetes,or would like us to write about a new diabetes innovation or even just for some friendly support.. please email my Mum and she'll reply as soon as she can!

We have had many practical experiences regarding the complications that go hand-in-hand with type 1 diabetes and we have learnt masses of information all by ourselves during the past six years. We are passionate about providing support to those who are touched with this condition,especially if you are feeling alone, or if you are in shock or grieving after a sudden diagnosis of your child. However, you MUST take the word of your doctor, first and foremost. I do not have a degree in Medical Science,nor am I an endocrinologist, a diabetes educator or a nurse. Therefore, If you or your child have any symptoms which concern you, or you feel that your child's health may be in danger, please, I implore of you, consult your health care professional immediately, OR call emergency services without delay. Untreated symptoms related to type 1 Diabetes can very quickly cause severe complications.
