Parents of children with diabetes 1. Type in Kerala are afraid of recent changes in making the “Mittayi” scheme of state security missions.
The community project of the Ministry of Social Justice, which was launched in 2018, aims to provide painless and easy -to -use modern insulin pen, monitoring glucose, health treatment and nutrition council through pediatricians, nurses and diets under the clinics “Mittayi”. There are more than 5,000 children with diabetes 1. Now it includes approximately 2,000 among them aged 18 years of age with annual family income for 2 lakh.
PT Abdul Jaleel. The Secretary General, the type 1 diabetic society, says that the slow insulin is given to children over five place of rapid insulin, which was previously given to all recipients since June this year. It takes approximately three hours to check the blood sugar level, while the slow -acting insulin requires up to eight hours to perform this work. Insulin cartridges also distributed per month have been fixed, although patients may require a higher number depending on their age and weight. Each type of insulin type that is now listed, the cost of around 930 GBP and parents are forced to buy others themselves. Although children need at least 210 blood sugar monitoring strips per month, only 50 is distributed through “Mittayi” clinics.
Practical difficulties
Mohammed AFroz, a diabetologist with diamond health care, Vatakara, Kozhikode, says that slow -acting insulin is not suitable for children under 10 years of age because there are practical problems. “Such children are usually considered hyperactive. They can go out and play on the pitch. Their blood sugar can be fluctuated during the day and will be difficult to control it with the type of insulin that is now given,” he says. He says that children have to wait half an hour after using the injection to make food. Those who are in the group of lower age groups can be difficult, adds Dr. AFROZ.
Mr. Jaleel points out that parents and children face problems. During the afternoon lunch hours, diabetic children are obliged to first check the blood glucose levels, then an insulin injection and later wait half an hour to have food. “Also, because the impact of the injection takes longer on their bodies, most children face the sink of blood sugar, dizziness and seizures. Some often lose their consciousness,” says Jaleel.
Meanwhile, the department officials quote financial restrictions to bring another type of insulin injection. They claim that it has been found that the number of recipients is growing every year. The current budget allocation for this system is only around 3.8 crore. However, if at least 10 crore is required, if the previous type of insulin that is imported from abroad, and allied devices are distributed to all recipients, they add.
