My son recently had complications while using the insulin pump to treat Type 1 Diabetes. After disconnecting from the pump permanently this meant going back to 7-8 shots a day. It also required all his prescriptions to change. He is now on the insulin pen which comes pre-filled, therefore, we had many unused/unopened vials of insulin which I had stocked up. My son's doctor told us of a child who was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and was still hospitalized, but he didn't have health insurance to help pay for insulin or diabetes supplies.
It's heartbreaking when children don't have health insurance and having a disease such as diabetes is very costly. Even though my son requested to be an anonymous donor, he was very happy to help someone who can really benefit from it. He doesn't know I took this photo of him at the Hospital yesterday when we went there to donate the supplies.
If you or someone you know has Type 1 Diabetes and prescriptions change, please consider donating unused supplies by contacting your Endocrinologist. There is no CURE for Type 1 Diabetes and it's not something a child outgrows. There is more focus on the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in US Schools. How about, No Child left uninsured?
