Government to review situation in three months time
The roll-out of glucose monitoring systems for people with type 1 diabetes has been temporarily suspended, due to the spread of coronavirus.
The Government funded scheme had been offering patients with an accurate, safe and convenient way to check their glucose levels, and had intended to make the equipment available from the start of this month.
However, the scheme is now on hold while healthcare resources are being directed towards protecting the community from the spread of Covid-19.
The position will be reviewed in three months’ time.
Specialists from the Diabetes Nursing Service can be contacted on 650860 for advice and support.
