"I wanted to help my brother." After Felix was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 7, he and his younger brother Eric both took part in research at @NorthCandMNHS, including D-CYPHR - part of @NIHRBioResource. Today, they're helping researchers better understand type 1 diabetes and improve care for future families. Read their story and find out how you can get involved in research: bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/news/… #BePartOfResearch
