Dear All,

There is one poor girl Dan Luo from China needs your help! She was born in 1996.03.18 in Pingluo, Ningxia, China. On June 24,2004 she was diagnosed to have Diabetes of age 8 after a serious arm-brocken accident. Her Blood sugar level is very high up to 16 or 19 sometimes. Very seldom can be controlled to average 5. Because of the poor family situation, she has no any money for the Diabetes medicine. Some warm-hearted people bought her the Insuline Injection Pump and Blood Tester, but she cannot afford the Test Strips.

The Poor diabetes girl, Dan Luo, is looking for your help with the Test Strips(Roche or TheraSense, Freestyle Mini Test Strips).

Her contact information through the local school is:

I have called the Roche Patient assistacne line to find out if they can help with your situation.  Unfortunately, they only offer this program to U.S. citizens:(

The lady I spoke with gave me another number (below).  This number is for Accu-check.  She said that you might want to call them and see if they canhelp.  Best of luck to you and Dan Luo.

Thank you very much for your information and help to Dan Luo.
To: JDRF-Team-SS, All the Best to your Son! I have visited the site you found, I think they only can give some help in USA, but I am sure they would like to help.

To: Cindy, I  called to China. But unfortunately there
is no answer from them, Roche.

I will try to post help to other places as well. I hope we all live in the love world.

best regards,

Haijun

Hello again,
Cindy is correct...most pharmaceutical companies do offer a patient assistance program.

Here is an additional number, as well.  When you call, tell them that you need information on their patient assistance program.  

Let us know the outcome!

Hello,
I am a volunteer, not a medical professional, so my input/advice is based on personal experience from caring for my son who is living with type 1 diabetes.  He was diagnosed at the age of 3 - a little over 6-1/2 yrs. ago.

I am searching for resources and will be posting a follow up once I have found some information to help Dan Luo.  

Below are some resources, however, I am unsure if they deliver outside of the U.S., so I am going to send out some emails to these different organizations and find out additional information for you and re-post ASAP.

Warm Regards
