Nonprofit Initiative

No one should
ration their
insulin.

We collect and distribute diabetes supplies — test strips, CGMs, insulin storage, lancets — to people who can't afford them. Simple as that.

New initiative · Every dollar goes to supplies

Why we exist
"Diabetes supplies aren't a luxury. For millions of people, they're the difference between living and surviving."

The Glycemic Health Project started because we saw a real gap: people were rationing test strips, skipping CGM sensors, and storing insulin improperly — not because they didn't care, but because they couldn't afford to care properly.

We're a new team raising funds and collecting donations to put those supplies directly in people's hands. No overhead bloat, no corporate structure — just supplies that help people manage their health.

CGM Sensors

Continuous glucose monitors give real-time readings without constant finger pricks. We work to get these to people who can't afford the monthly cost.

Test Strips

The most under-donated supply. Many people ration strips to once a day or less. Each strip is a chance to catch a dangerous high or low before it becomes a crisis.

Supply Kits

We assemble kits for newly diagnosed patients — lancets, strips, a meter, cooling storage, and basic education materials. Everything to get started safely.

The problem

The numbers
don't lie.

The scale is global. The barrier is practical. Reliable supplies turn diabetes care from guesswork into daily safety.

With the right supplies and monitoring

Behind every stat is someone checking their blood sugar in a gas station bathroom because they can't afford a proper kit, or skipping their evening test because they only have three strips left.

Where donations go

Real supplies.
Real people.

Every dollar raised goes toward supplies. Here's what that looks like in practice.

CGM Sensors

Real-time glucose readings on your arm, no finger pricks. A game-changer for anyone managing diabetes — but at $100–$200/month out-of-pocket, they're out of reach for millions.

Test Strips & Lancets

The most needed, least donated supply. Many people test once a day or less because strips cost $1 each without insurance. We want to change that.

Insulin Pens & Storage

Insulin needs to stay cold. We fund insulated cooling cases, pens, and proper storage solutions for people living in food deserts and hot climates without reliable refrigeration.

Full Supply Kits

For newly diagnosed patients who have nothing. A meter, strips, lancets, a cooling case, and instructions — everything to get started without drowning in costs on day one.
