20.01.2022 No doubt you all have a few questions about how people with diabetes can be affected - watch this for an update - key points - people with diabetes are at ris...k because of the fact that diabetes is an additional chronic illness and the risk gets higher with cardiovascular or respiratory disease in the same way. - we don’t know if better glycemic control lessons the risk as yet .. Stock up on your medical requirements - ensure up to date scripts -tablets insulin and -get extra strips and pump supplies where you can ... -remember you can obtain INSULIN WITHOUT A SCRIPT FROM WALLMARK ALWAYS - only NPH and neutral (Actrapid) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Relion-Novo-N-Flexpn/640743803 Remember social distance and self hygiene precautions and really consider any attendance to crowded area even query non urgent hospital specialists appointments - see if you can do these via phone video link if possible . Any infectionwill raise glucose levels n sick day measures will need to be put into practice like take more levels / water and consider more insulin and consult medical help. Take care and consult the WHO information or q health for up dates - I will try and update you as well .. stay calm And well https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/926418

07.01.2022 Hi IFL friends! Recently we had a thank you afternoon tea for Faye Kirkwood, who has retired from the Board of Insulin for Life Australia. We would like to tha...nk Alicia Jenkins, President of IFL for personally covering the costs of the afternoon tea. Here's how Faye became involved....it's quite an interesting story.. Before IFL became incorporated, the 'International Insulin Distribution Program' started in 1984 and was growing quickly and Faye started helping Ron Raab who started the program with sorting and packing donated diabetes supplies at the International Diabetes Institute in Melbourne in the early 1990s. Without Faye’s contribution during those critical early days when networks were being established, the program would not reached its potential. They were able to get access to the old Caulfield hospital autopsy building which had two rooms, one large where they did the sorting and the other smaller one where there were body samples from many years previously! So it was quite an experience for them to both work together in that sort of atmosphere! After those rooms no longer were available they had access to a temporary shed owned by the Diabetes Institute. For quite some time, it was a very basic set up, with no dedicated facilities, using spare space wherever they could find it. The main thing though was that they were both very dedicated and managed to get the supplies packed and sent to people in great need overseas, many of who would otherwise have died. In 2000, when IFL was formally established, Faye was a founding Board Member, and took on a number of responsibilities including becoming Treasurer, which she continued with until her retirement from the Board in early 2019. Faye attended several international diabetes conferences overseas where IFL was seeking to expand its presence, through displays and other methods, and have its unique model adopted by other countries, which successfully happened repeatedly. In honour of Faye’s long-standing major contribution to the establishment and growth of IFL, a function was held at the beautiful old Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, and presented Faye with a number of gifts of appreciation including a plaque. Bruce Wainwright, another founding board member, was not able to participate on the day- we missed your company Bruce! Thanks again Faye and we wish you and Ian all the best for the future. From Ron, Neil, Alicia and Bruce and the expanded board of insulin for life Australia and Insulin for Life Global #savinglivesaroundtheworld #InsulinforLife
