SEVENTY five per cent of children in the Isle of Man with type 1 diabetes are now using insulin pump therapy, thanks to the generosity of our readers.
The joint Isle of Man Newspapers/Manx Diabetic Group Pumps 4 Kids campaign has paid for nine youngsters to start pump therapy, with a further two set to start on a pump soon.
Pumps 4 Kids aims to eradicate the waiting list for pump therapy for children with Type 1 diabetes. Pump therapy replaces the need for daily injections, therefore transforming the life of a child.
To achieve our aim, we have called on the help of the island?s community. Donors and fundraisers from across the island have pulled together to help, including youngsters at Victoria House Nursery, in Douglas, who really went the extra mile to raise ?500 for Pumps 4 Kids.

That's pretty impressive - 75%! 🙂
