Save two sisters

Sofia is 11 years old, and her younger sister Tania is 2. The sisters are suffering from diabetes. Sofia had already been in the emergency room with severe diabetic attack, then doctors barely saved her. A small Tanya disease develops rapidly developed complications - severe liver problems. To Save girls will help installing an insulin pump, it is necessary for Sofia, and Tania – family Krasiuk requires two pumps. But the budget does not pay for pomps. And to buy a pump for the girls' parents do not have opportunities.

Special features of their small apartment in Zaporozhzhia, where sisters Sofia and Tanya live, are large, in the height of the children, toys. We can see that Mom and Dad loved their daughters and make them the best they can. And they need to do to much. Girls diabetes.

Sophia diabetes discovered five years ago. Then she lay three weeks in Zaporizhzhya Regional Hospital, and it was not the only time the girls are in the hospital.
However, despite his illness, Sofia, as befits the eldest sister, my mother's first assistant. She has two younger sisters - Anna, she said, to happiness, health and a two-year Tanya. As we speak with Alina, mother of girls, Sofia tries to distract Tanya, who is naughty.

- Up to one and a half years Tanya was an unusually quiet child. But when the disease manifested itself, she became irritable, moody, her character has changed, - says Alina. - My daughter is still too young to understand why her injections, she fears, and for which it even at night awake and crying, nervous.

Sofia manages to distract Tanya, she calmed down, became interested in toys, and Sophia leads her to bed, bedtime. Maybe taking care of her older sister Tanya helps itself to forget about the illness. After Sophia has a hard time. From time to time she had severe attacks are: blood sugar plummets, the girl begins to cramp, lips turning blue, quickened heart beats.

- With one of these attacks Sofia got to resuscitation, the first time she did not recognize me, - says Alina. - But my daughter - an active, sociable, she has many friends. So when she felt better, we again began to take her to kindergarten, and then given to the school, so she did not feel disabled to interact with other children. But it is difficult to study. Sugar is not very stable, constant injections, blood glucose measurements - at school all this is not easy to do. Now my daughter dream that it set the insulin pump. Moreover, Sophia started puberty, hormonal changes.

This is very dangerous, doctors say. My daughter needs constant control of sugar. The pump will solve this problem, besides the timely introduction of microscopic doses of insulin will help to avoid differences of sugar and, consequently, attacks.

An insulin pump is needed and little Tanya. When Alina suspected that the younger daughter's diabetes, once called the district endocrinologist. The doctor said, immediately go to the hospital.

- I remembered the five-year Sofia was heavy in the hospital, and Tanya was even smaller, even two years, was not. And I decided: not to take at night, watch her, - says Alina. - In the morning, the situation has improved.

Mom excluded from the diet of carbohydrates easy Thani, opened a diary of observations. But after a while Alina realized that subsidiary body can not cope with the disease. First time Tania missing two shots a day - morning and evening. Now we have to do more, up to five a day. Including my daughter to wake in the morning to inject insulin, and sometimes even about four in the morning.

- I understood that you have to be with her daughter at home, can not go to work - says Alina. - Works is now only the husband, his salary and live together, and raise three daughters. Doctors say that Tania and Sofia needed insulin pump. But because of budget funds do not pay for the pump. And we even one pump is not to collect money.
