A years libres for my Daughter
Donation protected
Less than a year ago We nearly lost our at the time 9 year old Daughter Kalila, it turns out she has Type 1 Diabetes and was very poorly indeed in fact hospital staff told us we just made it to hospital in time to save her.
Kalila has made a startling Recovery not that it has not been difficult along the way and Kalila still has dark days as she has not accepted fully that she has a lifelong, life changing illness.
The process of getting her through each day has been made easier with the use of The Freestyle Libre system a monitor and a sensor that you can scan to read current blood glucose levels. we have had 2 sensors kindly donated by the Paediatric Diabetes team at The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital but they are not currently available on prescription and we must purchase each one ourselves at a cost of around £70 each and they only last 2 weeks.
I am trying to raise enough money to buy a years supply of sensors so that Kalila can have a long break from too many fingerprick tests and to make things easier for her whilst she is trying to be a normal little girl and come to terms with her new life.
