Supply CGM Devices to All People with Type 1 Diabetes in Hong Kong 為香港一型糖尿病患者提供連續血糖監測儀
The Issue
At Youth Diabetes Action, we are deeply concerned about the well-being of children and youth with diabetes in Hong Kong. As the only charitable organization dedicated to supporting children and youth with diabetes and their families in the city, we witness first-hand the challenges faced by those afflicted with this condition.
Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition that affects thousands of individuals in Hong Kong, including children and young adults. Managing this condition requires constant monitoring of blood glucose levels to prevent severe health complications. CGM systems are proven to significantly improve the quality of life for patients by providing real-time data and alerts, relieving the pain of finger-prick blood tests and enabling better management of their condition.
Hong Kong has an increasing number of people diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, many struggle daily to keep their blood sugar levels balanced. We believe that supplying Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices to these patients would significantly improve their quality of life.
We urge the Hong Kong SAR government to acknowledge the critical need of these devices and supply CGM devices to all people with Type 1. This action not only validates the importance of enhancing diabetes care but also reduce the chance of hospitalizations due to diabetes-related complications.
Join Us
We invite all patients, supporters, and members of the public to sign this petition to show your support for the inclusion of CGM devices in the healthcare system for all people with Type 1 diabetes. Together, we can advocate for better healthcare provisions and improve the lives of those affected by this condition.
(All are welcome to sign and support all people with Type 1 diabetes)
為香港一型糖尿病患者提供連續血糖監測
作為香港唯一致力支援糖尿病兒童和青少年及其家庭的慈善機構，兒童糖尿協會目睹本港糖尿病兒童和青少年每日面臨的挑戰，對他們的福祉深感關注。
一型糖尿病是終身疾病，香港目前有數以千計患者，包括兒童和年輕人。這種病症需要長期嚴密監測血糖水平，以防止併發症發生。連續血糖監測儀（Continuous Glucose Monitor，簡稱CGM）通過提供實時數據和警報，減輕指尖採血的苦楚，能夠實質幫助患者更有效管理病情，並改善生活質素。
香港一型糖尿病患者人數持續上升，他們每天都在努力保持血糖水平穩定。我們堅定相信，為這些患者提供連續血糖監測儀（CGM），將顯著改善他們的生活質素。
我們呼籲香港特區政府認清患者的迫切需要，並向所有一型糖尿病患者提供CGM設備。這措施不但可以改善糖尿病護理，還能降低長期糖尿病引致的併發症及住院風險, 從而減輕公共醫療保健系統的負擔。
加入我們
我們誠邀所有患者、支持者和公眾簽署這份請願書，以表達支持將CGM設備納入一型糖尿病患者的醫療體系。讓我們一起倡導更好的醫療保障，改善那些受此病影響的患者的生活。
（歡迎所有人簽名支持患有一型糖尿病患者）
