I'm Pamela Norris, your Emergency Preparedness Expert. Welcome, to another Prepare with ICEBUDDY Podcast focusing on worldwide diabetes. I have explained in prior episodes that there are over 100 medications requiring refrigeration. Today I want to focus on one of those medications, insulin, which is used to treat diabetes, a serious growing global problem. Are you aware that 50% of people around the world in need of insulin cannot reliably access it because it is unavailable, unaffordable, or both? That puts at risk potentially hundreds of thousands of people to face death due to lack of insulin. This is why we crafted the ICEBUDDY QOOLER to protect and preserve life saving supplies of insulin. Let's learn how diabetes and the cost of insulin is impacting specific nations around the globe. T1 International, a non-profit organization provides statistics from 2016 and earlier that provide a glimpse of the dire state of affairs that has only gotten worse in the last six years. In Syria, up to 77% of income can be spent on diabetes supplies. In Brazil, monthly costs for diabetes supplies can be as much as 82% of a person's income. In Fiji, up to 80% of the average monthly income can be spent on diabetes cost . In Kenya, where the average monthly salary is only $216, full diabetes management can cost an individual $120 a month. In rural Mozambique, life expectancy for a child with type one diabetes is estimated to be less than eight months. ICEBUDDY Systems Inc's mission is to Save Lives. Dr . Kasia Lipska, of the Yale School of Medicine, says there are many people with diabetes who are rationing insulin, and there are disparities in terms of access based upon age, race, income, and insurance status. It is for these reasons that we crafted our ICEBUDDY QOOLER to be Kosher and Halal certified, designed with an easy to open lid for those with limited hand mobility and affordable for the masses. We want to do our part to make sure you have a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing the safety of your family's medication is taken care of. ICEBUDDY provides the world with COLD on the GO.
