Improving access to diabetes technology is critical to this. And the message at the event was simple; Australians living with all types of diabetes should have equitable access to the technology they need to live well. On the back of the recommendations from the Parliamentary Inquiry, it’s time to act decisively, including in the area of equitable access to diabetes technology.
