“We applaud the government of PEI for being the first province in the Atlantic region to fund CGM.” said Laura Cameron, Senior Director of the Diabetes Business at Medtronic Canada. “We thank the Prince Edward Island government who has set the precedent that every person on multiple daily injections of insulin deserves access to this technology.” “Diabetes management can make day-to-day life a challenge, regardless of an individual's age, and now people living with diabetes can manage their condition more effectively, with freedom and confidence.” said Laura Endres, Senior Vice President, North America of Dexcom.
“This will give Islanders living with diabetes the ability to closely manage their glucose levels, ensuring a greater quality of life.” Pierre, Provincial Diabetes Clinical Leader at Health PEI. “With this technology, Islanders living with diabetes can gain valuable insight about their glucose levels, rate, and direction of change, allowing them to better manage their diabetes,” said Martha St. “By making glucose monitoring more accessible we can help Islanders with diabetes live longer and live better with this disease.” “Thousands of Islanders live with the expense and health risks of diabetes,” said Ernie Hudson, Minister of Health and Wellness. Overall, government is investing 1.1 million into the P.E.I. It is anticipated this program will support 1300 Islanders who require intensive management of their diabetes through multiple daily injections of insulin or an insulin pump. Out of pocket cost will be based on household income and the existence of private health insurance. The Glucose Sensor Program, which officially launches on June 1, 2022, will give Islanders access to Glucose Sensor Technology at a reduced cost through local P.E.I. Unlike a blood glucose meter which provides just a single glucose reading, glucose sensor systems can provide glucose information every 1-5 minutes and can provide alerts and alarms to warn the individual if their glucose readings are too low or too high.Īs of May 18, 2022, applications for funding assistance will be accepted through the P.E.I. Glucose sensor technology, often referred to as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) or Flash Glucose Monitoring Systems is a method to track glucose levels throughout the day and night for those living with diabetes. On average, 860 Islanders are diagnosed with diabetes each year. Over 15,000 Islanders live with diabetes, a chronic disease where the body is unable to produce insulin or properly use the insulin it produces.
