Resulting from a good partnership with the Ministry of Health, Abbott through the Team Type 1 Foundation has donated glucose meters and close to 12 million test strips to advance disease management for people diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in Rwanda for the next four years.

Glucose meters and test strips are important tools to help people manage their diabetes however, some living with Type 1 diabetes are unable to afford meters or test strips. The FreeStyleOptium Neo glucose meters and 11.7 million FreeStyleOptium test strips will provide access to ongoing diabetes care in Rwanda. This donation is in partnership with the Team Type 1 Foundation, a non-profit organization pursuing a global mission of education, empowerment and equal access to medicine for everyone affected by diabetes.
