Vanderhoof girl receives Continuous Glucose Monitor ahead of Variety Radiothon

Many children will benefit from the 17th Annual Variety Radiothon for Prince George and Vanderhoof which is a week away.

The Radiothon has helped many kids with special needs including an 8-year-old girl named Karista from the Vanderhoof-Fraser Lake area.

Karista has Type 1 Diabetes, a lifelong disease caused by the autoimmune system attacking the insulin-producing cells in the body.

Her family has to constantly monitor blood sugar levels and make adjustments to her physical activity and diet.

Fortunately, a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) was found.

This device will monitor her blood sugar levels 24-hours a day.

You can tune in to the Radiothon on Wednesday, June 16 from 6 am to 6 pm on 94.3 The GOAT & Country 97FM in Prince George and to 95.9 The GOAT in Vanderhoof to celebrate local kids with special needs and the communities & businesses who support them.
