As part of the campaign to control blood sugar levels
In the "Orbit" Palace of Culture, on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, a rally entitled "Diabetes in the family". On the ground floor, an exhibition offers products for people with diabetes. He and pharmaceutical products, and food and ancillary items. The organizer of this action since 2002, is the NGO "Diabetic". The main purpose of these activities is the prevention and early detection of the disease. All participants can view free blood sugar levels, listen to lectures, consult a doctor and get help. At the end of the promotion, a draw was organized. Among the participants, 7 glucose meters were played.
"The action is scheduled for World Diabetes Day and these events have been held since 1991, the year of adoption of that day, and around the world. Our campaign enjoys great popularity, as diabetics, who acquire new knowledge, learn, communicate. In addition, we adopted a resolution at the end of the days of diabetes, ancestor participants and on this basis can raise issues and represent the interests of patients. Our main task is the prevention of diabetes. We always say that type II diabetes is very different from the first one. Name one, but the illness is completely different. The first type concerns people who are sick up to 35 years old, they do not produce insulin at all. The second type occurs when insulin is secreted in sufficient quantity but is not absorbed by the cells of the body. And the second type are asymptomatic, and learn in this case the disease is only possible through such controls, "said the curator of education and public projects of the public organization" Diabetic "Julia detkova .
According to Julia, on each of these shares, identify about 50 people who were not even aware of diabetes.
Sick with expensive diabetes
The list of drugs provided by the state for people with diabetes included only insulin. Nothing about the modes of administration and the means of self-control.
"Our organization raises the problem at the national level that the list of drugs for diabetics, provided free of charge by the state, was not included in the important components. This is the device for water insulin cartridges and pens. These funds are used by children, young people and people in serious condition. All children, especially children, can not get vaccinated and walk around with insulin vials. This pen can be fired very quickly, without unnecessary movements. The drug does not need to dial, type, no need to think about how to store the syringe and the vials. The handle is also much more convenient and easy, "- said the president of the public organization" Diabetic "Natalia Filipas.
In addition, patients spend a large portion of their money on special test strips to check blood sugar levels. Without such self-control to live, people with diabetes can not.
"I have been diabetic for 7 years. I learned when I donated blood to the children's clinic. Since changed way of life. Basically, taking care of themselves constantly from others is no different. The first time it was unusual to give injections, but now it's like drinking water. I receive free insulin once a month. But still need special bands to check blood sugar, do not give them. You have to buy in a month have about 6 packs. The price for a varies from 200 to 600 hryvnia, "said Arthur Danowski.
Diabetes is not shy and children
At this point in Zaporozhye there are 197 diabetic children of different ages.
"All children have self-control and imported medicines. And all thanks to the local budget. Since the state only received a grant of 30% and 70% of the funding provided by the city council. This year, the city budget has allocated 7 million UAH to insulin, "said Zaporizhia's leading independent children's endocrinologist Nadezhda Tokareva.
Mothers say that the biggest problem in the treatment and maintenance of children's health is psychologically rebuilt. Because once diagnosed, life changes dramatically.
"We learned the existence of the disease at 1.9 years old. Now, the child is 4 years old. At night, the child suffered from headaches and began to drink a lot of water lost. The new year gave him a nice present at the circus and he ate some chocolates. He was constantly sleeping, he decided to call an ambulance and, when we measured the sugar level, he was 18.9. Now constantly monitor the sugar, spend a lot of tests, plan to stay in the hospital, follow the diet. The first year, we had 4 critical situations when the child was evacuated to the intensive care unit. Now, Dima used this finger prick to take pictures. We agree that he understands everything, finds common ground, "said Julia Globa.
For children and their parents as part of the campaign held a special conference, where doctors talked about the peculiarities of the disease, help. And more importantly, we focused on the psychological aspect that children and adolescents with diabetes did not feel like others and did not feel insane.
"I have been suffering from diabetes for 3 years and now, I am 11 years old. Every day, several times insulin Kohl. It turns out that you are doing things myself, but most of them help the parents. I love helping children who can not do what you can to do the rest. Of course, not everyone can, but help many others. Diabetes does not prevent me, even thanks to him, I have had a lot of friends who can support me and me when they also need to support them, "said Nastya Kryzhalko.
Patients with diabetes every year more and more
In the region, about 55,000 diabetic patients, 9,000 of whom receive insulin. And this number from year to year is only increasing. As the Chief Medical Officer of the Regional Endocrinology Clinic, Victoria Chernikova, Head of the Department of Health Regional Administration, Independent Endocrinologist, said the first symptoms of diabetes are dry mouth, thirst, urination frequent and long illnesses. These are symptoms of the first type of diabetes, but the latter are asymptomatic and are detected when there are already many complications.
"Every year, the incidence of diabetes and the increase in the number of patients are of the order of 4-5%. This is due to the environment, to a lot of stressors. If, in a family, a person had diabetes, it is not the fact that the child is predisposed, but the potential is there. To avoid this, people must control their weight and blood pressure, "said Victoria Chernikova.
Diabetes mortality thresholds are not high, but the quality of life is deteriorating. As due to diabetes mellitus and overprinting of other diseases for which disability occurs. First and foremost, the deterioration of vision, appears chronic kidney disease and even a possible amputation.
