My daughter deserves to be able to control her Type1 Diabetes her way!

(Laois, 2016-12-04)

#711

I know it says for type one diabetics, but I feel it should be for both type one and type two. My mother is "pre diabetic", and unfortunately due to how expensive the glucometor test strips are, and how frequently she would have to keep an eye on her sugar levels, she puts herself at the bottom of the priorities and would rather look after everyone else in the family (including a diabetic cat who needs insulin injections twice a day!). Therefore, this would really benefit her.

(Shannon, 2016-12-04)

#715

I'm signing because myself and my son have to handle a cost of 220 euro a month for the rest of our pity life to get a better control of our diabetes.

Irish money should be directed towards those that need it rather than wasting it on ill planned, poorly executed initiatives like the Irish water fiasco.

I am a nurse who cares for diabetics on a daily basis and think that this is non invasive way of monitoring sugar levels is much a more humane approach in 2016 than having to stick needles in people.....

My 12 year old has type 1 diabeties and deserves to be free from multiple finger pricks.

(Kilmainhamwood , 2016-12-04)

#754

As the sister of a juvenile diabetic for 46 years I am well aware of how the worry and care for a loved one with this chronic illness is hard on both the individual and the family. Kids with diabetes are particularly vulnerable, especially going into the teen years when they want to blend. Insulin injections bruise. One less sore point really does make a difference.

My daughter is 4 years old and has type 1 diabetes and has several finger pricks everyday, we would love this technology for her but just don't have the money to afford this regularly.

(Wexford , 2016-12-05)

#771

For my daughter to have access to this technology for her illness.

(Wexford , 2016-12-05)

#775

It's a life changing device that can help so many people not everyone has the money for it it should be available for everyone and just a select few

(Waterford, 2016-12-05)

#778

(Dublin, 2016-12-05)

(Dublin , 2016-12-05)

Type 1 Diabetics deserve the best equipment and treatment to help them live their lives like the rest of the public! It's cruel to know there is something out there to help but they can't have it.
