Govt subsidised CGM initiative - DANII Foundation National Roadshow

Established in 2012 by parents Donna and Brian Meads-Barlow, the DANII Foundation was set up as a legacy to their 17 year old daughter Daniella following her sudden passing in 2011 as a result of a night time hypoglycaemic episode - a diabetes complication more widely known as “Dead in Bed” Syndrome.Danii went to bed a happy, healthy teenager, but sometime during the night, her blood glucose levels (BGL) fell so low that she became unresponsive and was unable to alert her parents that something was terribly wrong. Danii’s BGL’s fell to such a critically low level that she experienced convulsions, pushing her into a coma, and causing her death – alone and in silence.On learning that there was technology overseas that could have prevented Danii’s death, her parents knew what they had to do – through their own tragedy, they had to do everything possible to prevent another life being cut short. Through her passing, Danii gave her parents a parting gift – the inspiration to create a lasting legacy in her name and the courage to offer today’s T1D’s the care and safety they need to help them manage their diabetes and in doing so, help them live a normal, long and enjoyable life. This gift is today known as#daniisgift.What we do - The DANII Foundation’s vision, mission and values are:Vision:A world where people with type 1 diabetes live without fear of never waking up.Mission:To make affordable, life-saving alert technology a reality for ALL people living with Type ONE diabetes and those insulin dependent. To educate the wider public and advocate for the Type ONE community.Values:Innovative, compassionate, inspirational, caring, driven, brave.DANII's principal aims are to raise awareness of potentially fatal hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia (DKA), and to deliver globally an affordable alert device to provide support, security and peace of mind for the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Foundation believes this technology – a continuous glucose monitor and alert system, should be readily available and affordable to every single person in Australia, and around the globe living with type ONE diabetes.WEBSITE :www.danii.org.auCONTACT US:Phone +61 (0) 455 905 904EMAIL:admin@danii.org.auVIEW OUR EVENTS:www.danii.org.au/events/
