I need help to transform the life of my 10-year-old, type 1 diabetic son, with a Dexcom G5 diabetes glucose monitoring kit. http://www.dexcom.com/en-ZA . My son turns 10 at the end of February this year. He has had type 1 diabetes since he was 3 years old. Last weekend was one of only 3 sleepovers he has ever been invited to. The excitement and joy that radiated through him in being asked out, is what prompted me to do this drive to acquire this really expensive device for him.
He gets on average 5 injections a day. The thing that gets him down the most, is his blood glucose tests which he has up to 5 times a day. This really stresses him out. The device will change his life, both at school and on outings, which he rarely gets invited to or attend.
Please help me help my little boy. The device, sensors and installation of the sensors are going to cost up to R 90 000.
Thank you
