Approximately 20 million Americans, including a growing number of children, have been diagnosed with diabetes. Children with diabetes, if it is not managed appropriately, are at risk of developing serious health complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, stroke, and loss of circulation resulting in amputation of limbs. There is no cure for diabetes; it is a 24-hour-a-day disease requiring intervention, monitoring, and balancing food choices to maintain a child’s health.
The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation has committed $2 million toward the new Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex at Children’s National, and all text donations will help reach the $5 million needed for the complex.
