Abby Lyons

Abby Lyons is the author of the children’s picture book What Is Diabetes, Anyway? and co-founder of House of Comms, an international marketing agency based in Dubai, UAE. Born in South Africa and raised in Manchester, UK, Abby is mum to three boys—Marley, Maddox, and Rocco. Abby’s journey as a passionate advocate for diabetes awareness began when Rocco was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Determined to help others recognize the early signs of the condition, and support newly diagnosed families, she penned her first book, aimed at educating about the importance of early diagnosis. Abby hopes that through her and Rocco’s story, more families will become familiar with the tell-tale symptoms of diabetes and get the timely support they need.
