Until the age of eleven, Svyatoslav was a completely healthy boy. Like other children, he was sociable and very active: he went to school, played football, rode a bicycle. But three years ago, everything began to change sharply and inexorably: the boy began to lose weight, his well-being worsened every day. Later, Svyat ended up in intensive care with ketoacidosis. Doctors were stunned by the diagnosis - type 1 diabetes, insulin-dependent.
A completely different life began. He was taken over by completely different entertainment and activities - now the child needs to inject insulin before each meal, constantly monitor blood sugar levels, the amount of carbohydrates in food and the spread of the effects of the disease on the body.
To control sugar, it is necessary to frequently measure its indicators in the blood. For this, the child needs special sensors for round-the-clock monitoring, but these devices are not cheap at all. Moreover, six months after Svyatoslav's diagnosis, another tragedy befell the family: the boy's father died, and all the worries about Svyatoslav and his two younger sisters fell entirely on his mother. Help the family believe again that everything can be okay!
