Doc Rossa hasn't added a story.
Our beautiful daughter Summer, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at
18 months old, and as part of her care, we have had to test her blood
sugar levels multiple times a day and night with a finger prick. Her
pancreas no longer produces insulin, which is a hormone that helps to
regulate her blood sugar numbers. Even though she is now good at
testing her blood sugar levels every day, fingerpricks don’t give her
a precise picture of what her blood sugar levels are doing during the
day and night. Because of this, Summer has struggled to manage her diabetes.
Thankfully, time and technology have finally produced a medical
device that will allow her to see exactly what her blood sugar is
doing every 5 minutes and will chart out the patterns for her and her
doctor to look at and clearly understand in order to make adjustments.
It is called the Dexcom G4 Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System
and it would make a world of difference in the quality of care
received by Summer. We firmly believes every diabetic should have one!
Summer needs your help to make her dream come true! Insurance or
the government does not cover this so please help her meet her goal so
that she can have her very own Dexcom G4!
The initial setup will be at a cost of around $1800 which
includes $580 for a transmitter (which last 6 months), $810 for the
one receiver, $410 for 5 x sensors (each sensor last up to 21 days).
