Help Caela fund for a CGM for type 1 diabetes

Bay of Plenty

I have been battling to highs and lows of being a type 1 diabetic for almost 20 years. keeping blood sugars in range and getting them to a level of safety for my body has been a tremendous challenge for me for the past few years. CGMs do not come cheap, but they are a vital part of the diabetes technology world. they will help me by alerting me well before my blood sugars drop or go too high so I can act to keep things a stable level.

With the CGM my family will be able to view my sugars as well and get alarms with my blood sugars have dropped to a dangerous level that could cause unconsciousness as in the past I have had lows that have happened so fast I lose consciousness. so they would be able to come and check on me if this happens, these are truly life saving devices that are unfortunately not funded in New Zealand.

I am starting study and work which will be stressful as it is with living with diabetes and having to prick your finger 4-6 times a day. if I am able to get a few donations you will be helping me in my journey of stabilising my blood sugars with a CGM where I just need to scan it with my phone to get a result and so much more these will also help me watch and control my blood sugar levels so much better so I can qualify for a government funded insulin pump and have better control in my life as life gets busy this will help me be able to carry on a busy life and monitor my diabetes much easier.

Use of funds

The funds will be spent on Dexcom G6 for three months worth of sensors. this is supplied by NZMS diabetes.
