Election 2016: Government proposes $54m subsidy for type 1 diabetes technology

Key points:

  • CGM devices track glucose levels, sound an alarm if too high or low
  • The proposed funding would subsidise devices for up to 4,000 children
  • Devices mean children, parents do not have to wake up for finger-prick tests
  • Regional families have recently been calling for a subsidy
