@APPG_Diabetes today in parliament highlighting the postcode lottery on access to technology. Commissioning decisions vary enormously. Chair @KeithVaz1 recognises the barrier it creates and that we must address.
Dr Ng explains the cost-effectiveness of investing in technology: “A 0.4% reduction in mean HbA1c would save the NHS £995 million over the next 25 years. Such modest improvements in control can generate huge reductions in costs of complications in people with diabetes.” @mayng888
@APPG_Diabetes Tamara is the all-important patient voice of diabetes - also mother of son with #T1D - says having #FreeStyleLibre in the past would have reduced the complications she now lives with.
Today we're taking our #FightForFlash to parliament, and urgently calling on MPs to give access to this life-changing technology to everyone who can benefit - no matter where they live. The event will kick off at 2.15pm - follow @APPG_Diabetes for live updates from the meeting.
I went and it was good. If you couldn’t make it or don’t believe me see for yourself. The link to the recorded event will be active from Monday 16th July to 11th August. @T1DCCUK@ABCDiab@DiabetesUK https://t.co/Io53yehwwX

@DiabetesScot welcomes today's advice from The Scottish Health Technologies Group that Flash GM should be made available on prescription to people who intensively manage their diabetes with insulin: https://t.co/uxuplQBMyB Let's end the lottery of access: https://t.co/tN2NU7JWjy

NICE has provisionally decided not to update NG3 Diabetes in Pregnancy guideline. If you disagree let Russell Drummond know by 29th May as he will give @ABCDiab response to consultation.
@RG_ABCD@T1DCCUK@ABCDiab This is the irony of #type1diabetes#T1D management and @NHSEngland prescription policy: if no blood glucose measurements are available how much insulin do you dose?
Insulin cannot be withheld yet strips and #libre#CGM can - one without the other = danger.
