My daughter Róisín is 6 and recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She also had Autism so doing frequent finger price tests are a struggle. The free style libre would be such a game changer in managing to keep her blood sugar levels at a safe level.

This should be made eligible to everyone regardless of their financial situation, by making it only available to private patients it means people who can't afford it are ruled out.

I'm signing because our son is T1D and works at keeping good control of his condition but to do so has to endure numerous finger prick tests daily, in this time of modern technology children should not have to endure pain daily when mankind has provided a more accurate and user friendly way.

(Cork, 2016-12-04)

I think children with diabetes suffer enough. If there is technology out there that is more practical and works out around the same price as blood glucose strips, if not cheaper, then why limit the technology to those lucky enough to afford it?

(Newmarket on Fergus, 2016-12-04)

#305

It's so important and not just for children I have an elderly father with dementia with type 1 diabetes and this would make such a difference to his quality of life

My daughter is diabetic and uses the sensor. We purchase ourselves once a forthnight. I know for some this is not possible and would encourage the HSE to allow all people with Diabetes T1 this sensor and help these people help the children suffering and help adults to help themselves.

Cost shouldn't be a factor in treating people

(waterford, 2016-12-04)

#353

The emotional reason: My daughter has T1 and has to check her bloods by using her fingers which are destroyed and it breaks my heart because her little life is hard enough! Anything to make things easier for her would be wonderful! The practical reason: it would surely save money because we would be using less strips!
