Type 1 Diabetes Supplies
For individuals living with diabetes, access to essential supplies is not a luxury, but a necessity. These supplies, like insulin, test strips, and needles, empower people to actively manage their blood sugar levels and prevent serious health complications. Without consistent access, individuals may face increased risk of infections, blindness, heart disease, and even amputations. Ensuring affordable and reliable access to these supplies is crucial for promoting well-being and empowering individuals with diabetes to live healthy and fulfilling lives. With your help, Pumps On Cue plans to provide necessary supplies to those in need for little to no cost.
Insulin Pumps & Glucose Monitoring Devices
Continuous Glucose Monitoring & Insulin Pumps
An insulin pump is a small, computerized device worn by individuals with diabetes. It mimics the body's natural insulin production by delivering a steady flow of insulin throughout the day and releasing additional doses at mealtimes or when needed to manage high blood sugar. This continuous delivery and precise dosing can help people with diabetes achieve better blood sugar control, potentially leading to improved health outcomes and overall well-being. Pumps On Cue looks forward to the day we can provide individuals with CGMs and insulin pumps, but we have a lot planned in the meantime!
Additional supplies
Several over-the-counter (OTC) supplies can support diabetes management alongside prescribed medications. These include wound care products like antiseptic wipes, bandages, and moisturizers to maintain healthy skin and prevent infection. Foot care items like creams, pumice stones, and diabetic socks can help keep feet healthy and reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, some pharmacies may offer blood glucose meters and test strips as OTC products, allowing individuals to monitor blood sugar levels and manage health proactively. Pumps On Cue will work to offer supplies such as the ones mentioned here.
