Thando arrived at Lambano Sanctuary in late 2024 with Diabetic Ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication caused by dangerously high blood sugar.

Her symptoms had developed rapidly, and our team quickly began investigating the cause.
They discovered Thando had been regularly consuming sugary treats at school, unaware that her body couldn’t process sugar like other children. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a chronic condition where the pancreas no longer produces insulin, making blood sugar regulation a daily challenge.
With warmth and care, our home-based team guided Thando’s mama through managing her daughter’s condition - teaching her how to monitor sugar levels and adjust Thando’s diet to keep her safe and thriving.
