Living despite the disease

Nikita was diagnosed with diabetes when he was just five years old. Since then, his life has changed dramatically. His parents actively work together with doctors to provide the best care for their son. That's why, despite the difficulties of living with diabetes, Nikita maintains his cheerfulness and desire to develop. He actively attends school, participates in extracurricular activities, and finds the strength to enjoy ordinary childhood pleasures such as playing and socializing with friends. The support of his family, teachers and medical staff helps him to overcome the challenges of the disease and contributes to his harmonious development.

In addition to medical treatment, psychological support is of great importance. It is important that the child understands that diabetes is only a part of his or her life, not a determining factor. A positive attitude, openness to new knowledge and regular communication with peers help the boy feel confident and well-coordinated in this difficult process of fighting the disease.

Regular visits to an endocrinologist help to adjust the treatment regimen and prevent possible complications. An important part of his or her daily regimen is learning how to respond correctly to changes in glucose levels, inject insulin on time, and maintain a stable diet. To fulfill all the requirements of treatment, it is critical to have round-the-clock monitoring of the child's blood sugar. This can be provided by continuous monitoring sensors, but the family does not have the money to purchase them regularly. The child has to rely on philanthropists.
