DANII FOUNDATION UPDATE
#NOMOREFEAR
2021 AND BEYOND:
SUPPORT FOR EVERY AUSTRALIAN
LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES
These last 18-months have certainly been a challenge for many including our DANII Foundation. Covid presented many
hurdles in this social-distancing world that has fast become our reality of what seems to most of us today as our NEW
Normal! That said, we are pleased to share that our DANII Team and Volunteers have forged ahead and continued to
creatively advocate for a Type 1 Diabetes Voice as well as adapted to further education via social channels on what Type
ONE diabetes is like to live with and how Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and new diabetes technologies both saves
and changes lives.
Type 1 diabetes is not a disease that happens due to poor diet, it is an auto-immune disease for which the cause is still very much un-known.
Without a cause, there is still no cure. Evolving management technology is the closest we can dream for.
Our social media pages have been overwhelmed with personal accounts of how CGM technology has changed the lives of T1D’s and their
families. Parents have experienced sleep, and T1D’s tell us great stories of regained confidence and renewed positivity for life. Many report
very real improvements in their HBA1C ~ which is a glycated haemoglobin measurement that enables clinicians to get an overall picture
of what average blood sugar levels have been over a period of weeks/months. In some cases there have been massive improvements and
stability unknown to the individual in the past and “time in range” has become a new level of diabetes management.
The documented health benefits of well controlled diabetes cannot be underestimated. When we see the serious morbidity of poorly
controlled diabetes, including the high health costs of complications, it is easy to understand the very real cost saving of CGM and evolving
diabetes technologies over the medium to long term.
When our Government rolled out Stage 1 of CGM funding, Teens’ who were age 17 in 2017 are now in 21 in 2021. At age 21, our government
no longer provides funding for these young people who are at the beginning of their adult lives. Many at university, funding car and private
health payments, just moved out of home and embarking on their new careers. Sadly at around $5000 a year, the cost of CGM is way out of
the range of these young adults and so they now find themselves unable to continue to self-fund this technology that has transformed their
life and given them a new sense of safety and hope.
2019 brought Stage 2 CGM funding gifting Australian women pregnant and planning free access to glucose monitoring devices as well as
a hand-full of health-card holders. Yet again when baby is born, these new mothers tell us they cannot afford to continue the cost of CGM
and so like those turning 21, they reach out to DANII requesting financial support.
Following Stage 2 funding, the DANII Foundation did not wait long to start the campaign for those over the golden age of 21. 2020 and
this year to date has been somewhat quieter on the government relations front, primarily a direct result of governments focus on Covid
safety of our overall Australian population. Whilst DANII played a leading role in securing and implementing Stage 1 and Stage 2 CGM
government funding packages, we continue to keep communication lines open with government and health officials. DANII continues to drive
our #NoMoreFear campaign, targeting Federal politicians to support an extension of CGM funding for ALL. With an election looming we are
hopeful to again see a bi-partisan election commitment for Stage 3 funding. DANII friends are collectively focused on presenting Government
with the financial savings that CGM will ultimately provide. Real saving on the public purse by avoiding costly health complications including
but not limited to mental health, limb amputations, organ failure, and eye disease.
Whilst CGM funding to date has been a gift to around 43,000 type 1 Australian’s, sadly for many CGM funding was a gift of life and safety
that has since been revoked due to age or maternal circumstance. DANII foundation continues our work with the Medical Services Advisory
Committee (MSAC) in their 2021 review of CGM products available on the NDSS. Our message and advice remains clear that CGM is both a
clinical and cost effective device that should be made affordable to all. Whilst we understand the limitations of government funding and the
need for a staged approach. We are now calling on the government to release any data they have on the first 48 months of CGM funding. We
believe there will be a wealth of evidence to support our stream of anecdotes that demonstrate life renewed.
DANII is the only organisation to provide free CGM trials and an extensive 12-month scholarship program. To date we have provided
over 1200 CGM trials and 412 CGM 12-month fully funded scholarships. Each CGM scholarship is a life changed and saved at a cost of
around $5000. Our focus continues to financially and emotionally support Australians’ most vulnerable and at risk into diabetes management
technologies. Our commitment to political advocacy is considerable, despite the Foundations limited resources we continue to lobby and
influence the political agenda and also to support our friends when they engage politicians and the media in their local community. Our initial
rounds of success was overwhelming and we proudly achieved this in a very short timeframe.
Our DANII focus continues in supporting and educating our diabetes community. Our foundations success in saving and changing lives is
thankfully supported by the wider community we continue to serve ~ #daniisgift

ABOUT US
A WIN FOR
TYPE 1 KIDS,
BUT THE FIGHT
IS NOT OVER…
Firstly I want to say thank-you for being here tonight, supporting
the foundation that changed our lives...
It is just over 9 years since our world was turned upside down. My 11 year
old daughter, Monique was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) when an
unexplained autoimmune response killed all the insulin producing cells in her
pancreas. Life cannot exist without insulin, so there is no time to gather your
thoughts, treatment commences and never ends. To keep her alive I became
responsible for calculating and administering a lethal drug that if miscalculated
could have catastrophic consequences.
Every minute of every day is spent fearing for the future of your child, no matter
what age they are. Type 1 Diabetes never ends. You never outgrow this disease,
it doesn’t become more manageable with age or maturity, it never rests or takes
a holiday, it is 24/7 for the rest of your life. I cannot adequately describe the fear
that responsibility invoked from that day. And that was nothing compared to
the fear that overcame Monique, ultimately resulting in a diagnosis of anxiety
disorder. I could not believe in an age of technology and medical advancement,
such archaic methods were used to manage this relentless disease. So began
the search for answers, and standards of care in other parts of the world.
This led me to the newly established DANII Foundation, and two grieving
parents, who were living my worst nightmare. Daniella’s death could have been
prevented. A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) would have saved her life,
but the Australian T1D community were in the dark. Donna and Brian made a
promise to their Angel, not to stop until this device was approved, affordable and
readily available to every Type 1 Diabetic. I’m so grateful I crossed their path.
The Foundation took on the unenviable task of lobbying our government for
approval of CGM followed by the grueling campaign for its prohibitive cost to
be subsidised. They started raising awareness about “What is type ONE” and
fundraising through events like tonight’s Jelly Bean Gala Ball to bring to Australia
the device and provide CGM trials and Insulin Pump/CGM scholarships to
assist those most at risk. Those who are hypo unaware, or pregnant managing
erratic hormone affected bloods sugars, or the T1D suffering complete burnout
from years of managing this relentless disease, and families like mine - sleep
deprived and struggling to provide proper diabetes care to their child crippled
with debilitating T1 related anxiety. These trials and scholarships have changed
thousands of lives, including mine.
5 years of relentless campaigning and the impossible was achieved. In April
2017, “DANII’s Gift” was partially realised. CGM was made available through
Federal Funding to all T1D’s under the age of 21. I cannot describe the relief I
felt. This device has had such a positive impact on absolutely every aspect of my
entire family’s life. I had lived for 5 years in a constant state of sleep deprivation,
compromising the care of my children, my ability to work, to manage my home
and care for myself. I can now Sleep! I rely on CGM technology to alarm and

#DANIISGIFT
This makes me feel both gratitude and guilt. Why is Monique’s
life more important than the 21 year old starting out in life, the
31 year old starting a family, the 41 year old trying to hold down
a job and raise teenagers or..... Why is my sleep deprivation or
my fear more valid than the mum of the 50 year old, living alone
in another state? This privilege is not shared by an estimated
97,000 Type 1 Diabetics over the age of 21. They continue to
live in fear, or bear the enormous costs of self-funding this life
saving device, because unlike a pacemaker, it is not funded by
Medicare or private health insurance.
Donna and Brian’s’ and the DANII Foundation’s mission was
and still is all about saving lives. Not just preventing death, but
allowing all T1D’s and their families to be free of overwhelming
fear and really live their lives.
My plea tonight is for each and every one of you to commit to
saving the life of all Type 1 Diabetics’, by supporting the work of
The DANII Foundation. Can you help us FIGHT ON and provide
DANII’s Gift to every single T1D. We need your help to continue

What is Type 1 Diabetes
DIABETES THE FACTS: Type 1 diabetes is the fastest growing chronic disease in Australian children. There are
over 140,000 Australians with type 1 diabetes and with six new cases every day. Australia has one of the highest
incident rates in the world. The number of Australian children being diagnosed with this disease is increasing by
almost 6.5% every year. Striking both the young and adults, type 1 diabetes destroys the ability to produce insulin,
which is vital for life. It requires an essential daily regime of multiple injections or continuous infusion of insulin
through a pump, as well as up to 12 finger-prick blood tests. Type 1 diabetes is associated with a significantly
increased risk of serious health complications. An autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused
by a complex mixture of genetic and environmental factors but not by an unhealthy diet or obesity. The number of
Australians diagnosed with diabetes is expected to grow to 3.5 million by 2033.

When I was 5, just before my diagnosis, I became
severely ill. My symptoms were loss of appetite, weight loss
and excessive thirst. At my 6th birthday party, I stuffed myself
with lollies and cake just like any child would. By the end of
the party, I told my grandmother that I wasn’t feeling too well
and I wanted to go home. Later that evening I was vomiting,
I had a migraine and was fighting my grandmother for water

Greg Leahy ~ CGM Scholarship Recipient ~ Diagnosed in the solomon islands!
July 2015 was a life changer for me as a newly diagnosed
Type 1 diabetic. Diagnosed in The Solomon Islands while I
was working there as a Primary Health Care Nurse. Not the
best place to be diagnosed in an underdeveloped country. Very
challenging conditions as there were only a few insulins that I
could administer and injectable equipment was limited.
At first diagnoses I was aware of weight loss, vision
disturbances, thirst and increased voiding. High urine
glucose and a BGL of 35 was evident on examination. After
consultation with the GP, insulin was administered ASAP.
It was suggested by my nursing management that I be flown to
immediately to Brisbane, however due to the lack of outgoing
flights it was impossible. SO I quickly learned, I had to manage
this new disease myself! Albeit I am a Nurse, my biggest fear
at diagnosis was administering insulin to myself and making
sure I was doing all the right things to control my BGLs.
As a Registered nurse I look after many patients with Diabetes
everyday, but having diabetes myself was very different. In
my practice as a nurse I can surely sympathise with all my
diabetic patients now and have a better understanding of what
they too are going through.
With increased education from Diabetic educators,
Endocrinologists, Dietitians I was able to stabilise and manage
my type 1 diabetes condition. There have been many ups and
downs that I have been challenged with along the way. My
lifestyle was turned completely upside down.
My work now in the Emergency Department at The Canberra Hospital became extremely challenged, as I would experience many
hypos each day. I have had to change my role in the ED to more regular day shifts which has helped.
A friend told me about the DANII Foundation and after investigating and reading about this amazing foundation I was gifted a
scholarship to use the CGM. Initially the CGM had its challenges for me, skin irritation was my main issue, yet after using many skin
preps and dressings I now have had no issues.
The use of the CGM has completely changed my life! I can now see my real time BGLs and the auto suspend that blue-tooths
to my insulin pump has saved my life many times over ~ especially at night. Measuring Insulin accurately balanced with glucose
levels can be like walking a tight-rope to get it right…. With CGM I live safer.
These days in my spare time I look for every opportunity to give-back the gift I have been given. I fundraise for DANII, I mow lawns,
create cake-stall, what-ever it takes, so fellow T1Ds can also have this gift of CGM. It just makes sense for Government to fund this
life-saving and life-changing device! My Sole WISH would be for CGM to be more affordable and accessible for ALL Australian’s
living with type 1 Diabetes and those type 2 who are Insulin dependent. #daniisgift

DF_A4 2021 Booklet v10 sw 20210616.indd 21 17/06/2021 8:58:13 AM2021 DANII FOUNDATION VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Rhonda Alexander ~ 2021 Volunteer of the YeaR
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 46
years old, on January 14th, 2004. I knew that
if I was to become a diabetic it would be type
1 as it was hereditary in our family. My father
and his brothers were Type 1.
The day the Doctor told me I was diabetic he
gave me tablets thinking I was type 2, but after
2 weeks they hadn’t brought my levels down
so I offered to take insulin and I remember the
Doctor saying no one offers to take needles and
I replied if it is going to help I will, it can’t be
that bad, I watched my father all my life. So he
gave me syringes, insulin and some directions
and sent me home.
Over the next 2 weeks my sugars came down
to a healthy level and I also lost 40 kilos. The Doctor ordered me not to go to work for the next month or until he was happy
with my Blood Glucose levels.
The main challenge I have living with Type 1 Diabetes is maintaining a healthy
weight and keeping the sugar levels under control. Another big challenge I’ve had
is to find an Endocrinologist that supports me and understands me.
Something else I find essential in managing my diabetes is to be very strict with
my diet, I weigh every meal and add the calories and carbs to maintain a healthy
weight and good BGL. Sometimes it can be like riding a roller-coaster!
I learnt about the DANII Foundation through the Diabetes NSW magazine where they had travel
insurance advertised. It was just a call away and there is where my journey with the Foundation
started. I have been on every Jelly Bean Educational Cruise since DANII introduced the inaugural
programme. Over the years I‘ve learned a lot from the seminars and workshops on-board from
Endocrinologists, Dieticians, and Diabetes Educators and I’ve tried to implement daily their tips
and recommendations which has helped me enormously.
The Jelly Bean Cruises stopped last year due to COVID-19 but I still continue my journey with
the DANII Foundation volunteering my time on a weekly basis.
Using the CGM has completely changed my life. The accessibility of looking at my pump and it shows what level my sugars
are at is incredible. Knowing that CGM will alert me with this horrific noise if I am dropping too low or going to high is a
blessing.
