Hi! This can’t be real! 🤗
AND NOW!!!! I will delve into why I think that is under the cut
24 day old blog
First post (donation ask post) was made 23 days ago
Dexcom shown in the photos is way outdated! Meaning the photo has to be at least four years old, seeing as Dexcom stopped producing and selling the G4 Platnum Professionals in 2020. Along with discontinuing the app for them!
Dexcoms official update about this! V
The photo showing which dexcom it is, is literally from the year it launched in 2012.
Post from 2012 that uses this exact photo V
Op also claims that they were referred to this product in either in 2021 or 2024 both of which would be literally impossible since the discontinuation would’ve been well over 9 months with the former and over 4 years with the latter
A bit of background information on the next point:
When you edit a post it does NOT update the post shown on reblogs done beforehand!
Meaning if you reblog a post that is later edited, your reblog will show the pre edit post!
With that information down, You can see in multiple previous reblogs that the PayPal linked is changing near constantly.

Good post to check out about looking for donation scams! That I found in the comments of the first post that sent me down this rabbit hole. Thanks @shadowfoxsilver
So uh worse case it’s a complete scam best case, the poster is a liar 🤷♀️
If anyone has any idea, links or leads on the person(s) who’s photos, stories or name was referenced please do let me know!!
Howdy Y'all, please share my story with me at least a little, I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in February 2019 after being very sick and I weighed 88 lbs. For the last two and a half years I have had to inject insulin 4+ times for day every day, to stay within my blood glucose level.
In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.
In the picture, the devices you see are the ones that are needed to control my diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.
Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?
I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.
A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated even if you can't donate but if you share the story against friends It will help. Thanks to anyone and everyone who is willing to help.
