Insulin Pump needed after 17 years
Donation protected
Today (Wed, July 13th 2016), I was taken to the hospital again for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). While aging it has been getting harder and harder to manage diabetes without the tools needed.
An insulin pump will monitor blood sugars and inject insulin when needed like a pancreas . Currently, vials and syringes are used and a 10ml vial does not last long in the Fresno heat. When changing to a pump with 3ml vials the stress of aging medication will reduce drastically which means I use more insulin to compensate. Managing the diabetes will simplify and life will be more enjoyable.
I'm 28 years old now. Have had type 1 diabetes for 17 years. The doctor diagnosed me with diabetes at 11 years old. If i could have help raising the money to get an insulin pump and all the supplies needed everyday life would be much easier. I will make videos to teach the world about my experience with type 1 diabete to help inform those interested.
