Type 1 Diabetes - Funding available for Insulin Pumps for Children

Thanks largely to the fundraising event Walk to Cure Diabetes, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the Government have agreed to honour and make good a promise to fund up to 80% of the cost families have had to find for Insulin Pumps for children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).  The pumps reportedly cost between $4500 and $9500 which is debilitating in itself.  They can, however, be required for survival.
If you have anyone in your service that may be eligible to benefit from this recently 'reallocated' funding, please urge them to contact their local support program or JDRF for more information.  Let us know how you get on!
