Meanwhile in Australia. Catastrophic scenario without "ultra-fast" insulin

Australia. Over 25.000 people (and number is rising) already signed petition to save Fiasp insulin from falling off the PBS . Guarantee access to all Australians living with diabetes depending on insulin to the adeguate healthcare is crucial for their day to day management of the chronic disease.  It was Bionic Wookiee , sitting in front of me at ATTD 2023, thanks to the #dedoc voice scholarship program , saying the news from his homeland. You know, we, in Europe, small countries especially, tent to think across the ocean, everything is possible...therefore I'm always surprised to witness how many bad things and wrong decisions are there possible, too.  zdroj: bionic wokiee When thinking about diabetes and my daughter lifelong journey with it, I know David Burren will be one of the examples I'll show, why I always believed everything, even with #t1, is possible. (If some darker days maybe one day will come.) Reading news comfy from your safety zone it's far different than f...

OPEN project closing conference

Disclaimer: This is not a call to become a user of DIY APS. Open-source solutions exist as an alternative and safe choice for all people with diabetes, of any age, race, and place in the world. Alongside all other medical devices and treatments, they must be used properly.

Multi-Stakeholder Meeting on Medical Devices in Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes

Image
On February 21, 2023, a Multi-Stakeholder meeting was held in Berlin to call for ensure access of pediatric patients to medical devices for the management of type 1 diabetes. While in Slovakia the question of using sensors for monitoring blood sugar levels resonates the most in public discussions, top clinicians are demanding more.  In a world where there is already clear evidence of patient health benefits and prevention of complications of this chronic disease, there is no doubt that asking for nothing less than the availability of a wide range of AID systems for diabetes management is meaningless. (you can read more about AID systems available in Slovakia in original language here ). The event was organized by the Conect 4 children network, which I wrote about in more detail in the previous article. You can find it original language here . Over 120 participants took part in the hybrid meeting, roughly half of them virtually. Between academia, industry, regulatory and political b...
