PDC Health Hub is aware of the recent 60 Minutes episode and accompanying investigation examining medical device safety in Australia, including technologies many people living with diabetes rely on every day, such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps.
We understand this reporting may have raised concerns for people who use these devices as part of their daily lives.
Safety must always come first, and conversations about medical device regulation and monitoring are important. However, these conversations must also reflect the full picture.
For many people living with diabetes, technology has transformed care, reducing the daily burden of diabetes management and improving confidence, safety and quality of life.
Like all medical devices, diabetes technology is not without limitations. That’s why education, ongoing support and personalised care from a Certified Pump Trainer and Endocrinologist are essential.
If you have concerns, speak with your diabetes healthcare team before making changes to your technology or care.
At PDC Health Hub, we remain committed to evidence-based, person-centred care and supporting our community to navigate diabetes technology with confidence 🩵
