Diabetic Supply

My friend and I plan to do this work, non-profit for children with type I diabetes in developing countries. And before you actually start doing something, our main concern is that the media can pick up lost supplies for diabetes, such as insulin pumps, pens, blood glucose, insulin, or just date? Thanks for your help! I would be happy to give you an idea of cracking some.thats but difficult to create an international body of charity to the pumps in the less developed countries is probably not feasible. Insulin syringes are available without prescription in many states, as can be based insulins (regular, NPH). Free meters are available from the manufacturer, the test materials are the real thing, because they are expensive and are used with the unit for which they were conceived only. Sounds like a great idea, but a much more important than it seems to notice. Make a plan, and manufacturers and other organizations to raise funds and hope to find sponsors for supplies. Hold fundraisers It may take a while, but once you come, it will be off like wildfire if you do the basics first! Good Luck. There are several logistical issues three countries of the world, and deliver diabetes. Insulin pumps will be a clear no-no. First, batteries are not readily available in underdeveloped countries. Type 1 diabetics can not just go a few days without insulin until they can be 100-km distance to a store to buy batteries to get. The pump delivers the same with: snakes, put infusin, reservoirs, etc. If your life depended on it, but you can not wait for the delivery to get in a week or two in remote parts of the world. It takes a meter blood: batteries are hard to come by, especially for the meters unusual batteries. I have a study about 15 years ago for blood test strip that does not use batteries to test. They worked about 80% of the time, but the big deal was that they do not use batteries. Insulin must be refrigerated, and third world, many have no refrigeration and the temperature outside is very hot I'm all for helping people - not misunderstand me. But the logistics of managing type 1 is very difficult when the normal supply is not available .
