Story
A single father of two needs assistance in purchasing a medical device for one of his special needs children, age 16, who has diagnoses of autism and Type 1 Diabetes. The father has limited financial resources to be able to independently afford a Ketone Blood Meter kit and additional test strips and would appreciate assistance in purchasing these items.
Individuals with diabetes, particularly Type 1, need to be especially vigilant about checking ketone levels. High ketone levels can indicate a risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition for those with diabetes). With this device, the father will be able to monitor his child's blood ketone levels and determine if immediate medical attention is required.
