The Helping Little Hands Program provides financial support for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to ensure they have the proper technology, supplies, and associated appointment funds to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby. The program serves at-risk pregnant women who do not have access to Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems and other related resources to improve their diabetes care.
In addition to costly CGMs and insulin pumps, many moms-to-be are also challenged with the following expenses. The Helping Little Hands Program provides support for these additional needs:
- Traveling expenses to the clinic for frequent appointments
- Extra test strips for more frequent blood sugar testing
- Burden of co-pay expense due to increased frequency of appointments
- Childcare costs for other kids during doctor appointments
- Frequent blood work expenses
