iPAG would like to thank Mary Moody, our Chairperson, for her generous donation to the group in memory of her mother, Ethel Buchanan, who passed away on 31st March 2010. Throughout her life Ethel was a forward thinker, who had a great interest in new technology.
Mary was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a young child and battled to control her blood glucose levels on injections for more than 50 years. Since starting Insulin Pump Therapy over two years ago, Mary has experienced a great improvement in her health and quality of life. Unfortunately, due to Ethel's poor health, she was never aware of this.
Mary feels her Mum would be delighted to know this donation will help iPAG continue to raise awareness of the benefits of Insulin Pump Therapy throughout Scotland. Mary would dearly like to see many more people with type 1 diabetes being given the opportunity to experience the benefits that she has experienced.
Our thoughts are with Mary and her family at this sad time.
