Those who are eligible can access them starting that day, depending on supply, and the new pumps should be generally available within a few weeks.Article contentThe update comes after pressure from the NDP on the government to make good on its promise to make the devices available before the end of the year.
On Wednesday, NDP health critic David Shepherd welcomed the news but criticized the UCP for creating anxiety and leaving people living with diabetes in the dark for so long. “This is what Albertans with Type 1 diabetes have been asking for. But, once again, we have a government that is acting last, acting least and coming from behind the eight ball,” said Shepherd.
The devices deliver programmed doses of life-saving insulin throughout the day to manage blood sugar.Article content, said alongside Shepherd on Tuesday the devices are costly but save money in the health care system by preventing the complications of diabetes. “People are counting on these devices. There are diabetics out there on insulin pumps that are out of warranty now, because they are waiting for newer models, and no one wants to be upgrading their model to a model that is out of date. You only get a new insulin pump every five years on this program,” she said, expressing concern that there appears to be no one on the government’s Diabetes Working Group living with Type 1 diabetes.
