The group maintains that the administration will not reach the limit of cutting in this material because it offers "more benefits than savings."The Ceutí de Diabetes Association SecureThey produce it.
This "bad practice," the local entity continued, can cause infections, deficiency in medication and lipodystrophy, that is, the formation of granulated and amorphous tissue as a consequence of using emerged needles and that prevents adequate administration of this treatment.
Diabetes educators are responsible for knocking out these myths.These health professionals are the ones who deal with, through the health centers of the National Institute of Health Management, Ingesa, to teach and offer recommendations to diabetics.
Patients who incur this “incorrect praxis” is due to ignorance since, for decades, no one explained the problems derived from the use of the same material, he said.The comfort that supposes for some users to avoid displacement to the health center through a new box of needles, could also be behind reuse, commented from the entity, to add that the Ingesa is the instance that supplies this material.As for the health cuts that could affect the supply of material to the collective, from the Ceutí association they considered that the administration "will not reach that limit because the benefit it provides is greater than the economic savings we can do."
The data obtained in the I Diabetes Prevalence Survey carried out by the Ministry of Health and Consumption of the Autonomous City, indicated that approximately 10 percent of the population is affected by this disease.The association stressed that at the national level, together with the Canary Islands, we are the autonomous region with the highest incidence of this disease.
The Fede denounced the absence of a single discourse of the regional administrations about its dispensation, which required the Ministry of Health to eradicate this practice.According to a study by the General Nursing Council, only three communities dispense the number of needles enough to diabetics: Canary Islands, Murcia and Valencia.However, the Autonomous City does not appear in this national study.
The Ceutí de Diabetes Association was born to the need in the Autonomous City of an organization that attended one of the most impact diseases today.The collective is still waiting for a place to meet and develop its activities.
