If anyone has any spare diabetes supplies (new, unused, and in date) the IDDT (InDependant Diabetes Trust) are collecting to send to diabetics in Ukraine - there is a list of the things they need and the address to send them here - https://www.iddt.org/news/news-releases/ukraine-appeal

I know most people won't have supplies they don't actually need, but it occasionally happens - I've had a couple of weird issues with incompetent local pharmacy which have meant I've had basal I couldn't use before the date on it, or hypo treatments I couldn't use because they supplied the wrong ones and I'm allergic to them, and if that sort of thing happens it's better to donate them to a good cause than to return them to the pharmacy to be destroyed.
 
You can also just donate cash to type 1 Ukraine charities who will buy insulin and supply it. I have done this a couple of times since the war began.
