The earthquake in Abruzzo
It's Easter! Day of great celebration! Congratulations to all! The thought in these days can not go to those who are experiencing difficult times, especially for earthquake victims of Abruzzo. There are many human dramas that intertwine in situations like these. Among the many pressing issues think there's also that people with diabetes, who have found themselves homeless almost overnight, with the lack of everything, displaced in the general confusion. Diabetes, especially type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition requiring treatment continues without interruption. So my hope is that people with diabetes who live in Abruzzo still succeed, despite the difficulties, to have access to insulin and medical need. A similar thought is for people with celiac disease, that even in difficult conditions such as these should only eat gluten-free foods. Here are some pointers on how to help these people.
Everyone can send their aid to the people of L'Aquila and its major energy through the channels, such as the Italian Red Cross ( www.cri.it ) and the Italian Caritas ( www.caritasitaliana.it ). In particular, in order to help people with diabetes and celiac disease, including through the provision of specific material (insulin, needles, syringes, strips for blood glucose, gluten-free ...), you can follow the instructions provided on their websites Internet associations dedicated to diabetes and its cliachia as diabetes Italy ( www.diabeteitalia.it ) and Italian Celiac Association ( www.celiachia.it ). Alternatively you can contact the associations and local authorities. Everyone can do their part in this emergency.
So, again, best wishes for a Happy Easter by the editors of Diabetes Sunt, reminding all people with chronic illnesses who are living at the forefront of dramas like the earthquake.
Ah, yes: for those with diabetes, attention to sugar Easter eggs!
