World Diabetes Day pitch: Diabetic’s 45,000-strong petition for glucose monitoring patches on the NHS

Ahead of World Diabetes Day, we wanted to share a Change.org petition calling for the NHS to provide free glucose monitoring patches for all diabetics.

More than 45,000 people have signed the petition created by Stephen Radford, a type 2 diabetic who was introduced to the “game changing” glucose monitoring patches through his doctor.

Stephen says: “The patches are linked via an app to my phone and I get an instant reading day or night and adjust my insulin with much better control… Unfortunately I was given one free sample patch that only lasted 14 days and now have to spend over £100 per month replacing them. We believe that these glucose monitoring patches should be made available free to all diabetics through the NHS. It allows diabetics and associated physicians to constantly monitor and manage individuals’ glucose levels using the latest technology.”

Stephen argues that glucose monitoring patches are less invasive than the standard finger-pricking method, and could ease the strain on the NHS.

The petition link is Change.org/GlucoseMonitoring. You can also find supporter comments here. If possible, please mention that this is a Change.org petition so readers know where to find it and learn more.

Stephen is keen to speak to the media to spread awareness for his campaign. If you’re interested in speaking with him, please let me know and I’ll connect you.
