The SAS says that it does not remove the needles because it is not demonstrated that they cause hematomas to the diabetics.

The demonstration yesterday in Seville of diabetic patients from all over Andalusia demanding SAS to withdraw the needles that give them in insulin health centers because they cause them pain and bruises, it has not been successful, for the moment.

The SAS has answered in a statement that it will take measures if their analysis advises it and does not withdraw them because there is no scientific finding of what those affected report.

"After the award," says the SAS in a statement, "and given the concern of these associations in the province of Seville, a second specific study has begun in which all the issues raised will be analyzed.From the results of this study and, if objective reasons on difficulties and quality are established, the appropriate measures will be taken to solve them, not being able to breach an award that has been carried out with legality and transparency without data contrasted from thescientific evidence ».

The patients also complain that this needles are dispensed one day a week and for an hour and that plans and protocols are not fulfilled to diabetic patients who carry a greater budgetary and human endowment to prevent and treat the disease.

To all this, the SAS responds that "in no case, as has been affirmed by some spokesmen of these entities, there have been restrictions for economic reasons in the care of diabetic patients" and that "it is perfectly defined and protocolized,so that access to all the material that these people require for treatment and self -analysis is guaranteed ».

It also says that "the dispensation of these products that are made in the usual user review consultations has been improved thus avoiding unnecessary displacements."

Regarding preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and care actions promoted by Andalusia, through the Comprehensive Diabetes Plan and with the support of the care strategy, he assures that they have allowed to improve the survival and quality of life of the affected peopleIn recent years and, in fact, diabetes mortality in Andalusia has experienced a progressive reduction in the last 25 years, going from the 26 cases recorded by 100,000 inhabitants to 9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in this period.

Around a thousand people demonstrated yesterday in Seville convened by the Federation of Diabetics Associations of Andalusia Saint Vicent (Fada SV), with the aim of denouncing the situation that thousands of people live daily with diabetes of this community «by havingto use, for its treatment, poor quality needles that cause pain and bruises and that clearly fail to comply with the assistance protocol for diabetes in Andalusia, ”said the president of that entity, Francisco Pérez Barros.

He explained that if Health "does not call us to see how the situation is, next month we will convene a new demonstration", since "the public tender is already underway in Malaga, Cádiz and Huelva and we fear that the same thing happens as in Seville".

For his part, the president of the PP-A, Juan Manuel Moreno, supported yesterday the demands that the sick are formulated and recalled that last October an initiative of the popular group that collected "concrete improvements" for "concrete improvements" was approved unanimously in the Andalusian ParliamentBetter attention to Andalusian diabetics "that has not been fulfilled."

Only in Seville there are 16,000 people affected by the poor quality of the needles and there are no lack of families dedicated to buy them in the pharmacy and spend 40 euros per month in two boxes for the six daily punctures they need.

Denounce that bad needlesThey dispense since last May that the distributor changed.They demand the return to the previous ones.

That cause bruises is not the worst, the most serious thing is that they do not serve to administer the correct dose.

That is because many people do not always purge them, screw and Ale everything inside.And if they are good as BD still, but for example I with the Braun and Insurpen, sometimes I have to purge twice to come out something, and with two minimum units.Many come obstructed.
