Sugar-free life

"In two years, Julia came to resuscitation with high sugar, she comes out of the coma. Doctors reported that my daughter has a severe form of diabetes. We then did not really understand what is waiting for us. For the first time confronted with the calculation of bread units, the selection of doses of insulin. We could not stabilize sugar, no matter how we tried to follow all the regulations.

Doctors advised the insulin pump, but we have not been able to buy it. The daughter did seven or eight daily injections of insulin.
The situation changed with the help of the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace and Ufond charity. Thank you very much to everyone who responded! But now the supply is low, and without it the pump is not working. Once again we are forced to turn to you. Please help!" That is how sounds a young mothers desperate request from the White Church.

Exemplary, modest girl, two neat braids and excellent success in school. What can be a greater joy for parents? And, ironically, the life of ten-years girl is developing not sweet.

The girl became ill with diabetes in 2 years and barely survived after coma. Lingering cough, sudden weight loss, and even pneumonia did not bring doctors to establish the diagnosis. The fact that the girl has diabetes, her mother learned only in the emergency room when the baby was taken with shortness of breath. Doctors did not give a guarantee, said only if the heart stand - will live.

Since then her mother can not think of anything else except health and ongoing supporting her daughter. The disease has brought a lot of problems. Julia can not eat at school, because she complies with certain diet, violation of which can threates her death.
"After the coma Julia had to take carbohydrates very dosed and she ate only bread crumbs, which remained in my palm. It was very painful to watch this," - says Julias mother - Valentina. Nobody presented to girl a sweet Christmas gifts, because candies is not the usual childish pleasure, and only occasionally a way to raise her blood sugar. Often this happened during training. Julia has a dream - to become a choreographer. And to her dream she has devoted more than 6 years: classical and hip-hop became her vocation and calling. But it was often necessary to interrupt training because of sickness, which could solve the installation of pumps.

But things have changed in the past year. Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace and Ufond charity helped raise funds for the purchase of insulin pumps for Julia. With pump Julia managed to get rid of the blood sugar level drops. The girl began to feel much better and more freely, because the device monitors glucose levels and inject insulin automatically. Julia is a good student at school, she returned to regular dance classes.

- Thanks very much to everyone who responded and did not remain indifferent to the fate of Julia. Without you, we could not have done it ourselves. By the will of fate, we are again forced to turn to you, because now the supply is low, and without it the pump is not working. My daughter must continue to insulin pump therapy. This is the only opportunity to stabilize blood sugar and stop the development of complications - says Valentine, Mother of Julia.

Lets help Julia and her family, all together!
