Advancements for diabetics

Dear Editor,

Thankfully, we’ve come a long way in the treatment of diabetes with innovations and emerging technologies which can make managing the condition easier and support people to live healthy, happy lives.

Once such advance in technology is Flash Glucose Monitoring (Flash GM) which offers a convenient, pain-free way to test blood glucose levels regularly throughout the day. Flash GM also provides additional insight to how the condition is affecting the individual. With this greater understanding comes the ability to better self-manage the condition and freedom to live life with fewer challenges.

We are eager to hear from people living with diabetes about their experiences of Flash GM whether you have been prescribed the device, are self-funding or haven’t yet been able to try it.

If you would like to tell us your story, please contact us on Diabetesvoices@ diabetes.org.uk
