ADIUVARE – (Associazione Diabetici Uniti Varese) is a voluntary ODV association founded in 2011 and is registered in the RUNTS ( Registro Unico del Terzo Settore).
Adiuvare is a transitive verb (an ancient term) and means to help.
The association is made up of a group of parents and adults with type 1 diabetes.
People who have decided to dedicate part of their time and energy to take care of the problems related to the disease which, for type 1 , is curable but not curable; a disease for life.
Attention is paid above all to children, adolescents, young adults and their families.
Adiuvare’s activities are aimed at various fronts:
- Raise funds to ensure the presence of some key healthcare figures (psychotherapist and nutritionist) at the pediatric department of the Filippo del Ponte-Varese Hospital Italy
- Organize and finance two annual school camps for children and adolescents divided into age groups, where children learn to live with the disease together with their diabetes doctors.
- Give support to families and provide advice, also through the “Tutor” families who encounter the new beginnings during the first days of the disease.
- With the “TI AIUTO IO” project we finance the sending of a home nurse for families who need support for home care.
- Organize conferences and events, including scientific ones.
- Collaborate with institutions
- Maintain contacts with other regional and national associations to undertake common initiatives
