Wellington teen with type 1 diabetes raises thousands for unfunded glucose monitor for children

Her efforts were bolstered by donations from local businesses and the Silverstream Lions club which agreed to match ticket sales. The Upper Hutt Cossie Club also presented Brianna with a cheque for $5288.44 after it approved a grant to Diabetes Youth Wellington. “It was so good, I cried a lot,” she said Brianna was eager to support the charity after attending their camps alongside other young type 1 diabetics. The grant will give the 54 children and teens attending next year’s camp a Freestyle Libre sensor to wear for the duration of the camp. The device allows users to measure blood sugar levels by scanning the sensor with a phone or reader instead of pricking their fingers and bleeding onto a test strip.
