What type of continuous glucometer is provided by social security?

Good night!

I wanted to know if social security covers continuous glucose meters and what brands and models they have to choose from.And if there is more detailed information for Valencia regarding this.Thank you so much!All the best!

The laboratory gives them to you.Social security gives you the number to call them if your endocrine doctor does not have one to give you.

What is expensive are the glucose strips, and those are provided by social security if you are a type 1 diabetic.

I used the Abbott brand but in Madrid they changed to One Touch and they gave me this one, and this year we changed to Dexcom, I imagine they gave me another one.

For type 1 diabetics, Libre 2 plus is usually given.For type 2 I think they are only given if they need insulin.

Those who do not do well with the Libre2 in some community can give them the Dexcom One plus.

Hello,

In Barcelona, ​​social security offers continuous meters to type 1 diabetics, and to type 2 diabetics who are prescribed rapid insulin (they do not give it with basal insulin alone).

They use Abbot or Dexcom meters, although they didn't let me choose.They create groups of patients to do the training and when the minimum number they have established is reached, they give you the date and time for you to attend.

I understand that if your manufacturer's meters do not work correctly, you could ask your endocrinologist for a change.

I think the training thing is only to use a bomb.At least I didn't do anything for the sensor, they send them to my house and that's it.
