Rwanda Diabetes Test Strip Campaign

In Rwanda, many children and adolescents with diabetes die very quickly. Other young people struggle to survive with insufficient access to insulin and without access to monitoring supplies or trained diabetes healthcare providers. Unable to control their blood glucose, they develop complications early in life. In low-income countries, it is not uncommon to find youths and young adults with devastating complications such as eye damage and kidney failure. For these young people, the years spent developing complications are desperately unpleasant and unhappy.

Throughout 2011, you and Team Type 1 can again make a difference in the lives of the children of Rwanda by providing diabetes test strips.

Your donation of excess, unused and unopened test strips will allow the children of Rwanda to better manage their diabetes condition and dramatically improve their lives.

To help, simply download the Test Strip Donation Form to donate unused test strips for the children in need in Rwanda.
