FREE INSULIN SUPPORT

People with type 1 diabetes need to inject themselves with insulin every day throughout the day just to stay alive. Missing a single dose can make them sick and even result in death. Unfortunately, insulin injections are expensive and many children, youth and adults with type 1 diabetes find it difficult to afford them. You can help these patients by sponsoring their insulin treatment. You can sponsor insulin doses for a child or adult with type 1 diabetes for a month or for an entire year. In addition, patients also require glucose self-monitoring devices and strips to keep a tab on their glucose control throughout the day and prevent ketoacidosis. Some patients with unpredictable swings in their blood glucose levels (brittle diabetes) may need a continuous glucose monitoring device to understand their fluctuations. Some may even need an insulin pump to stabilize their insulin dosages. You can help these patients by sponsoring the purchase of these devices.

Given below are some of the other ways in which you can help patients with diabetes. You may donate in the following ways to sustain this program for supporting patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes.
