Story
Dexcom g6 is not funded by the NHS currently and there is no sign of it coming in the future. Having a Dexcom g6 benefits Riley so much but it is very costly, im trying to help out the kindest family i have ever met who has been through soo much pain and struggle recently but although going through soo much never stop giving themselves please help make a difference in Riley’s life by helping him be able to keep this remarkable machine and make it a little easier on his family.
Riley is 12 years old and was diagnosed April 4th 2018 aged 11. Finger pricking when he wakes up, before breakfast, 2hrs after breakfast, before lunch, 2hrs after lunch, mid afternoon, before dinner, 2hrs after dinner, and before bed not to mention any snacks he wanted and if his sugars are low he has to check every 10 minutes till they go up to a normal range. Mum and dad have to check during the night also if he was running high which is every 2 hours. Since starting dexcom g6 riley life has changed for the better he no longer has to finger prick as the g6 reads his blood sugar level every 5 minutes. If they are high or low riley is alerted to this but also so is mum and dad and treated rapidly. Also helps with night time monitoring and when riley is poorly we can monitor with out disturbing his sleep. Know that you will be alerted when riley's sugars are playing up has given us peace of mind knowing he is ok and safe.
Please donate to this amazing family!
Below is a bit more information about the Dexcom machine that helps Riley have a better life.
