From the age of five, Eshaant Shivate, has battled complications and even depression to tackle the problem of juvenile diabetes. With sugar fluctuations and four to five daily insulin shots, Eshaant no longer felt like going out of his house for studying or playing.
However, after being ?adopted? by Diabetes Care and Research Foundation that provides insulin pump therapy to Type 1 diabetic children, Eshaant performed well in academics at Vidyabhavan School. He is now studying at Fergusson College and is one of the contestants for a district-level swimming championship.
Pump therapy may significantly reduce diabetes-related stress in families with Juvenile diabetic children said Dr Abhay A Mutha, consultant diabetologist, Founder President of Diabetes Care and Research Foundation.
Mutha, who conducts the unique project for Childhood Diabetes in the country, said that 171 needy and poor diabetic children are completely adopted till the age of 18 years.
