Ten-year-old Mariika is an active, cheerful, and determined girl. She does well at school, adores dancing, and dreams of a happy childhood filled with movement, friends, and new achievements.
But for almost five years her life has been inseparably connected to type 1 diabetes. Every day she monitors her glucose levels, receives insulin, and lives by rules that most of her peers know nothing about.
Mariika is now gradually entering puberty. During this period, glucose levels become especially unpredictable – readings can change sharply without any apparent cause. That is precisely why continuous monitoring is absolutely vital. High and low blood sugar can lead to serious complications and cause irreversible damage to the child's health.
The best aid in this situation is continuous glucose monitoring sensors. They track blood sugar levels around the clock, provide timely warnings of dangerous changes, and help avoid critical episodes. This means greater safety for the child and a little peace of mind for her parents.
Unfortunately, the family has recently found it very difficult to manage the costs of treatment financially. Catheters, reservoirs, and sensors are necessary consumables, but their cost is constantly rising. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the parents to provide their child with everything she needs.
That is why they are reaching out for help. Please do not remain indifferent – help this child receive sensors, and that means living more safely, dancing, studying, and simply enjoying childhood!
