ACCESS TO FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING

That this House congratulates the decision made by NHS England on World Diabetes Day to fund flash glucose monitoring for Type 1 diabetes patients across England from April 2019; commends all individuals and organisations that have continuously campaigned to end the postcode lottery for this life changing device which reduces the need for finger-prick blood tests and can make it much easier for the millions of people with diabetes to manage their condition; and urges the Government to allow access immediately and make Flash available to Type 2 diabetes patients as well.
