[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2139396, member: 365308"] Worried about Brexit chaos and hysteria but doubting it will ever happen and not actually that worried about insulin. Here is an update from Diabetes UK 18th September [SIZE=4][B][B]What impact will there be on insulin supplies specifically?[/B][/B][/SIZE] Earlier this year we wrote to the three main insulin manufacturers – Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi – to understand what contingencies and additional stocks they planned to have in place. This month we wrote back to them to check the situation again. All three have confirmed that these are still in place, and the manufacturers tell us they have gone beyond the recommendations made by the government – they are keeping at least 16 weeks of additional stock. People should continue to get prescriptions and use their medicines in the normal way. [SIZE=4][B][B]What about my diabetes tech?[/B][/B][/SIZE] The government have said they are in contact with key medical technology companies. We are seeking assurances about supplies and stocks of key pieces of technology and diabetes equipment. We have asked the government to clarify that their work includes having regular discussions with all the major companies who provide continuous glucose monitors (CGM), flash glucose monitors (we call it Flash for short), insulin pumps and blood glucose monitoring technology. When we have received a response we will update this blog. [/QUOTE]
