A Sydney toddler has become the youngest person in the world to receive an infusion of her own umbilical cord blood in the hope of preventing diabetes.
Since Lucy Hinchion’s birth, doctors routinely tested the 20-month-old’s blood for an antibody indicating she was on the path to develop type-1 diabetes.
A baby whose close family member has type-1 diabetes has a 5 per cent chance of developing the auto-immune disease and Lucy’s older sister Ava, 7, was diagnosed with diabetes as a toddler.
Lucy recently tested positive for the antibody and was given an infusion of her own cord blood at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
