Catalunya begins to dispense glucose meters for people with type 2 diabetes

The department of Salut has begun to dispens, gradually, continuous glucose monitoring devices to patients with type 2 diabetes, dependent on insulin and who need at least six blood glucose controls per day, about 2,500people in Catalonia.

The 'Ministry' will prioritize the distribution to pregnant people or in pregnancy programming and children under eighteen, according to a statement made public this Saturday.

This device is a device that measures glucose levels in real -time interstitial fluid, offering information that contributes to "increase the quality of life of patients and caregivers."

Currently in Catalonia, about 20,000 people with diabetes have one of these devices, which involves the coverage of the most risky diabetic people, those of type 1.

In Andalucia they have been doing it for a long time, whenever they have insulin, even if it is only basal

Well, I don't know ... in theory this is at the regional level ...
I am from Seville, I don't know if there will be more advanced provinces than others.Not long ago, it will do about two months, first they did it for DM type 2 with insulin but dependent, so that the family did not have to prick it when they are bedridden etc, and then to the type 2 active q have insulin of the type that is.
