Help A Diabetic Child Foundation with Drive for Awareness

The Giving Coast

Help a Diabetic Child Foundation, a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to helping families and individuals who are dealing with diabetes, announced that it is partnering with Drive for Diabetes Awareness (DFDA) to highlight the symptoms of ketoacidosis and the need for medical supplies and insulin for at-risk kids. “Misdiagnosis is the leading cause of death in children with Type 1 diabetes. A recent online survey found 25 percent of all participants were misdiagnosed and that diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis,” said Tami Balavage, Founder/President for Help A Diabetic Child Foundation. “We hope that our partnership with DFDA will provide the power of knowledge and help save many children’s lives.”
