It is that this news, in my view, has 2 parts.
One, the story of the event of man.
Two, the economic cuts of public administrations.
I do not quite understand how glycemia measurement has avoided entering coma situations ... taking into account that your treatment is only with oral antidiabetics, I don't see how you could reduce your hyperglycemia without going to a health center.
If you have hyperglycemia, your treatment does not work well or that certain situations/behaviors/other medications cause hyperglycemia.
The news and the fact in question for me have clear sensationalist dyes ... although that, perhaps, is good for us.
And that there is enough margin and reasons to do it better.
The Department of Health, in this case, supports its policy with the firm and public positioning of reference scientific societies: Spanish Society of Diabetes and Valencian Society Endocrinology, Nutrition and Diabetes (Svedyn).
Of course, also, there would be much to discuss who has signed these "scientific" positions, based on what and what purposes ... "casually", in Valencia, that positioning of the SVEDYN temporarily concentrated with the resolution of the opposition contest of the opposition contest ofendocrinology doctors.
Savings in reactive strips has been publicized until satiety by the Valencian government for this part for 2 years ... up to 20 million annually they have saved;Along the way there have been accusations towards patients to waste the strips, accumulate thousands of unused boxes, distribute them to family friends etc ...
I insist that this cut has been expressly supported by all the endocrine ... few voices have been against ... some article by Dr. Calle (Madrid), some shy protest for Dr. Sampudia and little more.
Anyone involved in the garlic of health spending, and more specifically of the health expenditure due to diabetes, knows that the cost of reactive strips and feathers needles, barely reaches 10%;In front of that, more than 40% is due to diabetes complications.
This is known by the health leaders, the endocrine knows and anyone who minimally investigates the matter knows.
However, the most effective short -term measure is taken: killing flies to guns and cutting an expenditure immediately ... medal facilitates, reduction of immediate expenditure and glory for the responsible (go) responsible for making the decision, which has achievedThanks to this, among other things, 4 years older, without disheveled or blushing.
In the end, between some things and others, the patient is alone, at home, with the food dish in front, with his pills taken, with his physical exercise done and his constant concern about his blood glucose levels ... because he has readthat a hyperglycemia maintained causes blindness, amputations or renal failure.
He has read it on the Internet, in some book he has read or in a talk to which he has been able to go from the local association, because the doctor has never explained any of the high sugar.
And he doesn't know what to stick to ...
His head doctor tells him that measurements can no longer be made, he does not dedicate time to explaining what he should do, glycemia controls have never been interested, glycosylated hemoglobin is annual in the best of cases, revisions shine by theirAbsence, he has never visited the specialist ...
And the man, of course, wants his daily measurements ... because no one else pays him attention, because he is afraid of complications and nobody gives him measures or guarantees so that this does not happen ... and hugs desperately to a methodthat gives you information about your status, more or less reliable, more or less useful ... but it is the only thing you have left.
And I finish, what a roll I have released.
Self -analysis, in type 2 diabetes, without education is useless ... if education is claimed laterSelf -analysis.
I speak of self -analysis not of glucia measurement, which are 2 different things.
I've already left rest: oops:
