KIDSAC

Has someone in your family recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes? Or are you a health care professional dealing with newly diagnosed families?

If so you are eligible to receive a free KIDSAC pack.

KIDSAC is a support and educational pack for families living with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

To order your free pack call us on 020 7713 2030 or order online here.

The pack contains Rufus – the bear with type 1 diabetes. Rufus has special felt patches on his test and injection sites. He has been a great friend to thousands of children with type 1 diabetes over the years.

As well as Rufus, your KIDSAC will contain:

• a handy type 1 reference folder to keep all the information and bits of paper that tend to come with a new diagnosis
• JDRF information leaflets about living with type 1 diabetes
• a handy pocket guide to give to friends and family (more copies available on request)

Plus a free year’s subscription to our magazine.

Families and health care professionals can order KIDSAC direct from JDRF on 020 7713 2030, using our online form.

"Charlie is absolutely thrilled to bits with Rufus and has been hugging him all evening. Rufus had to sit at the table while we had tea, played Star Wars on the PS2, and also had his bedtime injection just before Charlie’s. I would recommend Rufus Bear to anyone with a younger child!"
Karen Spooner, mum of Charlie, diagnosed age three
