Currently, CGMs are much too expensive to be used constantly for many people. In my opinion, getting more people on pumps is a good thing, and I would love some funding for them.

I or my loved one suffer from Type 1 Diabetes. This degenerative autoimmune disease currently cannot be prevented or cured. Successful management of Type 1 Diabetes is linked to glucose control – specifically the ability to avoid hypoglycaemia. Severe hypoglycaemic events are the result of low glucose levels, which can result in seizure, coma or death.

Please support a federal budget submission by Medtronic Diabetes Australia this May, to fund the subsidy of Continuous Glucose Monitoring sensors for the hypoglycaemic-unaware. It’s a first step to opening up funding, making vital Continuous Glucose Monitoring affordable to those who need it most.

#hypohelpMay2015 will potentially save many lives.
Please join this important conversation and thank you for your support.

Regards,
Conrad Russo

This free spirited sweet little girl, Audrey, is an amazing young person, so courageous, so positive and taking on responsibilities just like a grown up. It doesn't seem fair but then life is not fair at times! She is far too young to have to go through these upsets and cannot live a normal life..just going to school, let alone go to a birthday party with her little friends is something that creates intense worry and concern for Audrey and her family.
If the Australian Government can fully fund these insulin pumps and the monitoring senses what a difference it could make in little Audrey and her family's life.
Please please give this your urgent attention. Thank you so much.

I have an insulin pump through my private health cover, which I can barely afford. It would give me significantly better blood glucose levels if CGMS was affordable. It'd reduce my risk for complications and save the government the cost of treating cardiovascular, blindness, amputations and kidney failure complications. I'd be able to work until retirement age instead if needing disability pensions. There is a reason people with diabetes use them... They work! However I don't have a spare $400 for a few sensors floating around. I work full time and have a mortgage. Why am I being disadvantaged?
