Call for State to issue glucose monitors for Type 2 Diabetes

AN OLD BAWN resident has called on the Government to provide continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to patients with Type 2 Diabetes through the Long-Term Illness scheme after his experience.

Paul Nugent (54), from Deerpark was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2015 and recently began to use a CGM after years of finger-pricking that he felt did not make a huge difference to his life.
