CGM Access for people living with Diabetes in Ireland
Today I’m attending a briefing in Leinster House as a guest of @dexcomukie, focused on access to CGM devices for people living with diabetes in Ireland.
Thank you to Dep Colm Burke for supporting this cross-sector discussion.
Meet Mairead, a primary school teacher from Dublin, diagnosed with T1D aged 4. After years of denial, DAFNE and FreeStyle Libre changed everything. Now a mum of 3, Libre ambassador, and passionate diabetes advocate. 💙
