Success as Glucose Monitors available in Mid Essex

  • Tweet
Monday, 13 May, 2019

Over the past two years I have been contacted by a number of Chelmsford constituents with diabetes wanting to be able to use state of the art continuous glucose monitors “FreeStyle Libre Monitors”.

I have been supporting this campaign. The monitor means the patient’s glucose level is continuously monitored. It is suitable for patients who would otherwise have to do a blood test 10 or more times a day.

I was delighted to receive a letter from the Mid Essex CCG (clinically-led statutory NHS bodies responsible for the planning and commissioning of health care services for their local area) saying that these continuous glucose monitors will now be available for patients.

The letters and information are attached below:
