The Aragon government will allocate more than 20 million euros to monitor about 6,600 Aragonese with type 2 diabetes. A measure that is already applied to 90% of patients with type 1 diabetes.
To measure the blood glucose level, you had to puncture and place a drop in a device.For a few years, people with diabetes, instead of clicking to know the level of glucose they have in blood, carry a subcutaneous patch or system that gives them all the information just by bringing the mobile closer.This system is connected to the phone through Bluetooth and offers continuous measurement and without the need to pigeon.
José Antonio Saz Franco, president of the Zaragoza Diabetics Association, explains that about four years ago, the health incorporated this system to all type 1 diabetics and around 90% of these patients have it implemented.The novelty is that Governing Council has approved a game of 20.3 million euros to extend this monitoring system to 6,600 Aragonese affected by type 2 diabetes in the next three years.
Saz explains that there are multiple advantages offered by this system, the first, which save themselves to prick about seven times a day.And it is that the monitoring not only indicates the level of blood glucose but also indicates whether it is up or down, which allows the patient to make decisions on how to act at all times.And just to bring the mobile closer to the patch.
