The Story from her mommy "Olivia was diagnosed in May 2008 with Type 1 Diabetis which means she is insulin dependant.
We have been battling since last year to get her levels under control and well still no luck.
On the 20th of Jan 2009 she had hypoglycemia and a pediatric stroke to which up to today we still dont know the cause of , she was hospitilized on the 22nd again with another hypo and while in hosp she had another 2 .
Her body is struggling to cope with the low levels and thats why she keeps on collapsing.Everytime she gets an incident like that the damage gets more and more.
We where told by her specialist that the only thing that will be able help Olivia is an insulin pump.
Our M/A refuses to pay for the pump and also for us to upgrade to a better option eventhough her specialist has spoken to them personally.
The pump costs about R20 000.

This is more or less the whole of it."
