"We will fight every single moment for Bella until she can fight for herself. And then we will fight right alongside her, until there is better awareness and a cure." — Danielle, Bella's Mom
Dear Andrea:
It is a terrible agony to watch a loved one suffer.
Ask Danielle. She watched her daughter, Bella, go from a healthy 4-year-old to the brink of death in mere days. At first, the pediatrician on call said Bella had the flu.
Then came the answer: Bella had type 1 diabetes. Her blood glucose levels were off the scale. Bella was in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious condition that can lead to a diabetic coma or death. Doctors rushed Bella to the children's hospital, where it took a special endocrinology team several days to get her stabilized.
For Bella and Danielle, and for everyone living with this disease, we must do everything possible to finally find a cure for diabetes.
Danielle is incredibly grateful for the medical science that makes her daughter's life possible, and for the wonderful resources and support she finds through the American Diabetes Association.
While federal-funded diabetes research continues to be at risk, at the American Diabetes Association, we remain committed to support the science needed to improve the lives of people with diabetes.
With deep appreciation for all you do to Stop Diabetes®, Kevin L. Hagan Incoming Chief Executive Officer American Diabetes Association
