Ivan dreams of becoming a programmer. He has finished 6th grade, loves math and English, is interested in robotics, and is fluent in modern IT trends.

Vanya has diabetes. Previously, he had to pierce his fingers more than twenty times a day and take blood for analysis. It was painful and inconvenient. But if this is not done, the glucose spikes will soon lead to severe and irreversible consequences for the kidneys, cardiovascular system, and vision.

During puberty, due to hormonal changes, blood sugar levels become less and less predictable. It can drop sharply to 2.5 mmol/l or jump to 22. Such fluctuations are very dangerous, especially at night.

Nowadays, in the age of technology, which Ivan is so fascinated by, patients have started using sensors. The sensor is attached to the body, automatically measures the level of “sugar” every 5 minutes and sends the information to the smartphone. If insulin needs to be injected, Ivan will know about it immediately.

Sensors are a huge relief for Vanya. They allow him to live freer and safer, study, play sports, and make plans for the future. But one sensor works for 14 days and is not cheap. We are launching a fundraising campaign to buy a year's supply of Freestyle libre 2 sensors.

Let's support Vanya together!
