JDRF Insulin Pump Grants
Following the great success of our 2006 Insulin Pump Grants program where eighteen children with type 1 diabetes were provided with insulin pumps, JDRF is pleased to announce that we will be running the program again in 2007.
Health Care Professionals are invited to apply for a grant to cover the cost of an Insulin Pump for families who would benefit from Insulin Pump Therapy but are unable to afford the upfront cost.
This program is provided through support from children’s charity The Bestest Foundation.
