Ivan spends the whole summer with his friends: walking, swimming in the river, enjoying his vacation to the fullest. This is a time when he can just be a kid, enjoying moments of freedom, because school is coming up, seventh grade.

Ivan has grown taller over the summer and is now about 1.75 m tall. As he grows, so do the challenges, but there are sensors that help keep his diabetes under control. The sensor must always be on the boy's arm so that it can tell him when and how to act in time. Without it, life is a constant feeling of danger.

During puberty, hormonal changes make blood sugar levels increasingly unpredictable. They can drop sharply to 2.5 mmol/L or jump to 22. Such fluctuations are very dangerous, especially at night.

The sensor is attached to the body, automatically measures blood sugar levels every 5 minutes, and sends the information to a smartphone. If insulin needs to be administered, Ivan will know immediately.

Sensors are a huge relief for Ivan. They allow him to live more freely and safely, study, play sports, and make plans for the future. But one sensor lasts 14 days and is not cheap.

Join us in supporting Ivan! Let's help provide him with Freestyle Libre 2 sensors for the whole year.
