Petition Continuous blood glucose monitoring for Type 1 diabetics to be funded by NHS
Insulin dependant diabetics have to fund their own continuos monitoring system.
It has been shown to improve HBA1c (blood sugars) dramatically and reduce diabetic side effects such as Amputation, Blindness and Kidney failure. It should be available to every one not just patients who can afford it!
More details
It will save money over current methods ie finger prick blood glucose monitoring and reduce diabetic side effects and therefore huge costs to the NHS..
see British Diabetic Association etc
