In light of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the InDependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) calls on the public to donate diabetes-related care products and drugs. Examples include blood glucose, insulin, lancet, glucagon, and hypoglycaemia treatments.
For those living with type one diabetes, running out of insulin can result in a life-threatening situation. Therefore, people with diabetes in Ukraine are allegedly in serious danger and need help from the world community.
“The deepening crisis in Ukraine means that there is an increasingly urgent need to help people living with diabetes. Hospitals are running out of supplies and supply routes are being targeted,” said IDDT Chief Executive Martin Hirst.
While not all pharmacies in Ukraine are closed, as the conflict spreads further west, it will become more difficult for patients to get the drugs they need to survive. Moreover, with the bombing from Russia still continuing.
Apart from IDDT, several health organizations have also launched campaigns to try to help address the emergency medicine situation in Ukraine. “We have joined forces with other organizations to do our best to help get supplies to where they are needed as quickly and safely as possible,” said IDDT co-chair Jenny Hirst.
