Mr WILKIE (Clark) (13:44): Continuous glucose monitors are an incredibly important technology for the 1.2 million people living with diabetes in Australia, but the government still hasn't made the technology available to everyone who needs it. Continuous monitors have the potential to change people's lives. They can continuously measure a patient's sugar levels throughout the day without the need for a pinprick, which relieves a major source of anxiety for diabetes sufferers and helps them control the development of any further complications. Take the case of one constituent who contacted me recently. She's lived with diabetes since she was a child and was able to trial a flash glucose monitor for a month. This helped her control her glucose levels and was a much better alternative to having an uncomfortable pinprick twice a day. The government has, to its credit, announced that it will provide subsidised access to continuous glucose monitoring through the National Diabetes Services Scheme, but, regrettably, this is only for specific groups of people with type 1 diabetes or similar conditions, such as women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. This very narrow eligibility will mean that many people, such as my constituent, who would benefit from having access to continuous glucose monitoring will simply have to go without. In other words, the government has made some progress but it still needs to do much better.
