[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2264630, member: 365308"] Thank you for highly logical defense of allowing all type 1 s to have access to a cgm. As you're aware we now have a flash monitoring system available but rationed to all type 1s. I do not think you would find any diabetologist or patient who would deny its' benefits yet it is still rationed to a budget of 20% of our type 1 popoulation. The rationing criteria concern maximum benefit to the individual so I guess that is not done on the basis of socio economic status unless you contend that some people are better able to know about and assertively demand the technology than others! My question is if there are limited resources in any healthcare system and goods must be rationed, is thre an arguement that more public good could be done if we extended the pol of potential beneficaries of the tech to type 2? More healthcare funds are spent on type 2 complications and use of the tech would detect abnormal blood sugars and treat them earlier in the disease process thus eventually increasing the number of years of quality life so is it morally justifiable not to share the tech wider even it means we type 1s get less entitlement? Those type 2s are definitely being denied the power of the knower currently after all. [/QUOTE]
