33 years of life with diabetes

Oleksii has lived most of his life with diabetes, a disease often referred to as a "slow-acting bomb". Insidious and sometimes even imperceptible, the disease penetrates every organ and tissue in the body, impairing their functioning, and therefore requires constant and careful monitoring.

The disease took away not only Oleksii's carefree childhood and normal life – he also lost both lower limbs due to diabetes. But despite everything, he does not give up: he helps boys and girls get back on their feet after injuries and prosthetics, and is actively involved in sports.

However, independently determining his sugar level is becoming increasingly difficult every year. It is becoming less and less safe to trust his senses: he cannot always understand his condition, and it is not always possible to measure his sugar, especially in the middle of the night. Therefore, Oleksii needs help – he needs continuous glucose monitoring sensors that will allow him to get rid of constant anxiety and the need to rely on his own, often misleading, feelings.
