Diabetes Crisis in Haiti

by foville1859 (Posted Wed Nov 27, 2013 8:07 pm)I think there has been a general crisis in the health-care system in Haiti. As it pertains to diabetes specifically, one issue is the lack of supplies:"When I tried to help three kids with diabetes, there was not even a glucose meter to be found in the hospital. All this makes it near to impossible to help people."So to help out, the most obvious way would be to donate diabetes testing supplies, insulin, and other paraphernalia. We have lots of those things cheaply available in the USA so it would hardly be difficult to spare some for the people in Haiti
