Diabetes is a difficult and complex condition to manage. Each day is like running a marathon of highs and lows, carb counting and sleepless nights. There are sensors available on the market that constantly monitor your blood sugar levels. These monitors have an alarm system to warn you that your levels are dropping or increasing before you get to the point of becoming very unwell or even needing medical assistance. .As you are warned early you can take control of your diabetes.

The monitors are linked to a mobile phone through an app which stores your data for your diabetes review. It has changed my life. Unfortunately they are only available on the NHS if you meet certain criteria. It costs £100.00 for 4 weeks. This is life changing for so many lets make it free on prescription for all. When diabetes is managed well it means less problems for the NHS.
