Sensors can relieve pain

Snizhana is a smart and good girl. Until the age of 10, she grew up like all children: she went to school and attended dance classes. However, no one could have imagined that something terrible would happen... On New Year's Eve, when all the children were enjoying their gifts and surprises, Snizhana began to complain of severe pain in her legs, intense thirst, and frequent urges to use the toilet. And worst of all, the child began to lose weight rapidly and fade away.

When she came home from school, she literally fell onto her bed from exhaustion. No one could have imagined that a child of this age would be struck by insidious diabetes. When she was taken to the hospital for tests, the girl's mother was shocked to hear the terrible diagnosis. From the very beginning, the girl was given insulin injections. At that time, this word sounded like a death sentence. None of her relatives wanted to believe that they would have to live with this. After leaving the hospital, gray everyday life began: constant insulin injections and blood sugar measurements. Snizhana had to endure finger pricks up to 15 times a day to control her sugar levels.

To ease the pain of the pricks, there are sensors that attach to the child's body, facilitate blood sugar measurement, and transmit the results to a phone, so the child does not need to endure painful finger pricks. These sensors make life much easier for children with diabetes, but they are quite expensive.

A mother who is raising two children on her own cannot afford to buy them. She needs a lot of money every month, so she is asking for help.
