English: Last night, as chair of the cross-party group on diabetes, I was privileged to join Members, Diabetes Cymru and the Baldwin family in the Senedd to celebrate the life and legacy of Peter Baldwin as we approach what would have been his twenty-first birthday. Peter turned 13 on 10 December 2014. He loved life, school and his friends. He was a fit, healthy teenager who, as we heard from his sister last night, loved ice cream, and he had the world at his feet. Tragically, Peter passed away a few weeks later due to complications resulting from his diabetes being diagnosed too late. Since his death, his mother Beth has campaigned tirelessly to help raise awareness and prevent other families suffering the same tragedy. By sharing his story, Beth has encouraged others to take the step of getting their child checked for diabetes before it's too late. Beth's efforts and Peter's legacy are truly inspirational and far reaching. Lives will have been saved because of it. The refreshed 4Ts campaign is just one example of this. The campaign highlights the four symptoms to look out for when diagnosing diabetes: toilet - going more often; tired; thirsty; and thinner. This has raised awareness of the symptoms and prompted parents and adults alike to ask for a test for diabetes. So much good work is being done in this field by groups such as Diabetes UK and campaigners like the Baldwins. I applaud their efforts and urge all Members to do what they can to spread awareness of the symptoms of this disease. It really can make the world of difference.
Welsh: Neithiwr, fel cadeirydd y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar ddiabetes, cefais y fraint o ymuno ag Aelodau, Diabetes Cymru a theulu Peter Baldwin yn y Senedd i ddathlu bywyd a gwaddol Peter Baldwin wrth inni nesáu at yr hyn a fyddai wedi bod yn ben-blwydd iddo yn ugain oed. Roedd Peter yn 13 ar 10 Rhagfyr 2014. Roedd yn caru bywyd, yr ysgol a'i ffrindiau. Roedd yn blentyn ffit ac iach yn ei arddegau a oedd, fel y clywsom gan ei chwaer neithiwr, yn hoff iawn o hufen iâ, ac roedd ganddo'r byd i gyd wrth ei draed. Yn drasig, bu farw Peter ychydig wythnosau'n ddiweddarach oherwydd cymhlethdodau'n deillio o'r ffaith bod ei ddiagnosis o ddiabetes wedi digwydd yn rhy hwyr. Ers ei farwolaeth, mae ei fam Beth wedi ymgyrchu'n ddiflino i helpu i godi ymwybyddiaeth ac atal teuluoedd eraill rhag dioddef yr un drasiedi. Drwy rannu ei stori, mae Beth wedi annog eraill i gael eu plentyn wedi'i archwilio am ddiabetes cyn ei bod hi'n rhy hwyr. Mae ymdrechion Beth a gwaddol Peter yn wirioneddol ysbrydoledig a phellgyrhaeddol. Bydd bywydau wedi cael eu hachub o'u herwydd. Un enghraifft yn unig o hyn yw'r ymgyrch 4T ar ei newydd wedd. Mae'r ymgyrch yn tynnu sylw at y pedwar symptom i edrych amdanynt wrth wneud diagnosis o ddiabetes: toiled - mynd yn amlach; blinedig; sychedig; a mynd yn deneuach. Mae hyn wedi codi ymwybyddiaeth o'r symptomau ac wedi ysgogi rhieni ac oedolion fel ei gilydd i ofyn am brawf ar gyfer diabetes. Mae cymaint o waith da yn cael ei wneud yn y maes hwn gan grwpiau fel Diabetes UK ac ymgyrchwyr fel teulu Peter Baldwin. Rwy'n cymeradwyo eu hymdrechion ac yn annog pob Aelod i wneud yr hyn a allant i ledaenu ymwybyddiaeth o symptomau'r clefyd hwn. Mae'n gallu gwneud y byd o wahaniaeth.
