Sy leef al ses jaar met &#8216;n ongeneeslike siekte, maar sy laat dit nie haar menswees of haar omgee vir ander steel nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryna was net tien jaar oud toe sy in 2019 met Tipe 1-diabetes gediagnoseer is. Vir haar ma, Bianca, &#8216;n enkelouer, het die nuus haar soos &#8216;n vuishou in die maag getref.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sy was nooit as baba sieklik nie. Skielik was sy heeltyd dors, sy het na iets soets gesmag en sy was konstant moeg,&#8221; vertel Bianca. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sy het Maryna se ouma Anna Erasmus gevra om haar dokter toe te neem. Toetse is dieselfde dag gedoen en Maryna is onmiddellik hospitaal toe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ek is meegedeel sy het &#8216;n 50\/50 kans op oorlewing,&#8221; s\u00ea Bianca.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryna se noodopname was tydens die Covid-19-pandemie. Sy is in die ho\u00ebsorgeenheid van die Mediclinic Welkom opgeneem. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sy is deurboor met naalde; mense het heeltyd aan haar gewerk. Dit was traumaties,&#8221; s\u00ea Bianca.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weens streng Covid-19-regulasies was dit &#8216;n stryd om by haar dogter toegelaat te word. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ek moes baklei om in haar kamer te bly. Toe ek eindelik kon, mag ek nie eens die kamer verlaat nie. Sy was ses dae in die hospitaal. Dit was net genade dat ek langs haar kon slaap en haar hand kon vashou wanneer dit te veel geraak het.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vir die tienjarige Maryna was dit &#8216;n nagmerrie. Terwyl dokters haar insulienvlakke gestabiliseer het, is sy nie toegelaat om te eet nie. &#8216;n Kind wat nie verstaan hoekom haar liggaam haar in die steek laat nie, moes dapper wees.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"296182\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/elke-dag-moedig-aangegryp\/oplus_288-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,3355\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;OPPO Reno12 F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;oplus_288&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1762595749&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.98&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0017241379310345&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;oplus_288&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"oplus_288\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;oplus_288&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-781x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-781x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-296182 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flea-market-1320x1730.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ouers kan hul kind help deur hulle as &#8216;n normale kind te behandel, met diabetesbestuur as net een aspek van hul daaglikse lewe.

Sy moes leer om dit tussen haar klasmaats te doen. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kos kan nie sommer gedeel word nie.
