“She loved being a mum”: Nicky Rigby with daughter Lily.Like most new mums, Nicky Rigby was exhausted in the months following the birth of her first baby. The 26-year-old put the overwhelming tiredness, as well as her sudden weight loss, down the demands of caring for daughter Lily.But the young mum was actually suffering from Type 1 diabetes and died as a result of not getting treatment for the undiagnosed condition.Her grieving family is now encouraging all new mums to pay close attention to how they are feeling and to seek medical attention if they are unwell.”Please don’t battle on through exhaustion like my brave Nicky tried to do,” Nicky’s devastated fiance Mark Wilson told UK’s Daily Mail.Nicky, from Wirral in north-west England, died after Mark returned home to find her found unconscious on her bed in July 2012. An inquest was later told she had suffered from undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes. As a result her oesophagus gradually deteriorated and lead to her death.Mark said the most difficult thing about losing his partner was knowing she would not get to see their daughter grow up.”Nicky was a natural with Lily, cuddling and feeding her. She loved being a mum, despite the sleepless nights leaving her feeling exhausted,” he said.”She didn’t want anyone fussing over her. She just said that all mums get tired like she was.”Nicky did eventually go to the doctor, but she was only prescribed iron tablets. Mark said the tablets didn’t help at all.On Mark’s birthday in July 2012, when Lily was only five months old, Nicky was feeling unwell. She decided to have an early night but encouraged her fiance to go out with friends to celebrate.  “Nicky wasn’t feeling great and insisted I go and enjoy myself. I kissed her goodbye then took Lily round to my mum’s house so Nicky could have a rest,” Mark said.But when Mark returned home later that night and went to check on Nicky he was faced with a horrifying scene.”I decided to switch on the light to see if Nicky was okay, and then saw she was surrounded by black vomit,” he said.He called an ambulance and tried unsuccessfully to revive Nicky. The paramedics arrived soon after, but were unable to revive her. An inquest into Nicky’s death heard the new mum had died from diabetic ketoacidosis, which is caused by consistently high blood glucose levels.It occurs when a severe lack of insulin leads to the body not being able to use glucose for energy. Instead, the body begins to break down other tissue to use as an alternative energy source.The inquest was told Nicky would be alive today if her condition had been diagnosed and treated with insulin injections to control her blood sugar levels. It is not known whether pregnancy played any part in the onset of Nicky’s condition, however Type 1 diabetes is different to gestational diabetes, which is routinely check for during pregnancy.A grieving Mark said he’s determined to make sure his daughter grows up knowing how special her mother was. He has put photos of Nicky around the house and made his daughter a memory box which contains a gold heart necklace he gave to Nicky, as well as her engagement ring.“I want Lily to look at the pictures of her mum and know she was a brilliant, fun person,” he told the Daily Mail.Type 1 diabetes: The symptoms to look out for* Excessive thirst* Frequent urination* Weight loss* Fatigue* Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision* Itching skin, particularly around the genitals* Nausea and vomitingSee your doctor if you’re worried about any symptoms.

Brisbane’s most used bus service, the CityGlider.Brisbane’s rail and bus union has called on Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to “stop dancing like a puppet to Campbell Newman” and publicly rebuff the State Government’s transport privatisation agenda.

Cr Quirk revealed two weeks ago Brisbane City Council’s transport arm will be forced to compete against private operators in late 2015 to retain control of the 70 per cent of the city’s bus routes it presently operates.

The State Government contestability process, which Transport Minister Scott Emerson has denied is privatisation by stealth, has been borne partly from the government’s commitment to keep fare rises at just 2.5 per cent per year.

On Friday, the Queensland branch of the rail, tram and bus union joined council’s opposition leader Milton Dick to launch a citywide petition on behalf of Brisbane Transport bus drivers to oppose potential privatisation of the city’s bus network.

The union’s state president Bruce Mackie said the city’s commuters would suffer should operational responsibility for the network fall into private hands.

“The fact is contestability is government speak for privatisation,” he said.

“Contestability, privatisation, goes hand-in-hand with the Newman Government’s agenda.

“The people of Brisbane deserve the best bus service, not the cheapest service, it is those unprofitable areas where we run a service because it is a service.”

Cr Quirk, a long time opponent of privatising the city’s public transport network, said two weeks ago that Brisbane Transport would “aggressively” fight to retain operational responsibility of the network.

But he conceded the ultimate decision was out of City Hall’s hands, with the state government to make the ultimate decision on the matter.

Both Mr Mackie and Cr Dick said on Friday the Lord Mayor needed to publicly oppose the premier’s contestability process for the benefit of the city’s commuters.

“I think it’s time the Lord Mayor of Brisbane stood up to Campbell Newman and said you are not going to privatise the city of Brisbane’s bus services. The fact is, people deserve that public transport,” he said.

“It’s time he started saying, ‘you are not going to destroy the public transport services in my city,’ and he needs to be in the media saying that.”

Cr Dick said the contestability process was the first step in selling off the city’s bus infrastructure, a claim Cr Quirk has repeatedly denied.

“This is the first step to selling off the buses in our city, the Lord Mayor needs to stand up to Campbell Newman, he need to fight for the commuters in our city, he needs to tell Campbell Newman and Scott Emmerson that Brisbane Transport is not for sale.

“As yet, he hasn’t done that.”

The council’s public transport chairman Peter Matic said Cr Dick’s claims of privatisation were nothing more than a scare campaign.

“These false claims are a cheap political stunt with no truth,” Cr Matic said.

“The Lord Mayor has previously said he does not support the privatisation of Brisbane Transport and has made it very clear on several occasions that Council will not be conducting a bus review this year.

“Council will be contesting the tender process once the State Government announces the details of contestability and we will be competing to win,” he said.

The current controversy over potential privatisation was sparked when council’s civic cabinet opted not to renew the long-time head of Brisbane Transport Allan Warren.

Mr Warren said in a memo to his 2700 employees council was seeking a “new dawn” for its transport arm.
