I'm a diabetes nurse and it would make life so much easier for diabetics. It would give them a lot of background info on their blood glucose control and help improve it saving money in the long term it's a no brained. .

As a diabetic I completely agree with the new blood glucose testing device by Freestyle - I suffer with frequent hypos, sometimes with no symptoms and I am a type 2 diabetic - I would love this device to be available for ALL diabetics.

Making this available on LTI would be a very clever move by the HSE. It would be a good investment in diabetics health, cutting down on very serious complications further down the road, thus preventing or reducing surgeries and hospital stays etc.
