12.01.2022 What fantastic news for children and young adults with Type 1 diabetes! Subsidies for continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGM). Would be even better if the Labour government could match this pledge! This is such an important step in significantly improving the management of diabetes, especially in children with erratic blood glucose levels, who experience hypoglycaemic events (low blood sugars) overnight or have hypo unawareness. http://www.sbs.com.au///turnbull-promises-diabetes-devices
