Eva is a smart, beautiful girl who loves to draw. She is only five years old, but for most of her life, about three years, she has been living with a terrible incurable disease. The child lost a lot of weight, wounds appeared on her small body that did not heal for a long time, and she suffered from severe thirst. Then, one day, she fainted, and in the hospital, the terrible diagnosis was confirmed – type I diabetes.
The diagnosis was devastating news for the whole family – since then, their world has been turned upside down: there was panic, tears, and denial. Eva's mother is unable to work full-time because this disease requires a lot of attention, care, and time. Constant counting of carbohydrates, injections, and punctures. Eva does not go to kindergarten because every meal requires an insulin injection. The girl already knows that she cannot eat without an injection. To prevent critical conditions, complications, and even just to bring the child's life closer to normal, continuous sugar monitoring is necessary, which can be done with the help of sensors.
For the sake of even a chance at a normal childhood, the whole family's life became filled with piles of precise numbers. No less than four insulin injections. The number of carbohydrates on the plate calculated to the hundredth. Once every two weeks, the sensor for continuous glucose monitoring on her arm had to be changed, and once every three days, the insulin cannula had to be changed. And the biggest and most unbearable of the numbers was the cost of treatment. Eva's quality and full life comes at an unbearable cost, so the family needs help with the sensors.
At such a young age, Eva has already been through too much – let's do everything we can to give her a chance at a bright childhood!
