JUVENILE ONSET DIABETES AND BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING

New strips for blood glucose testing are now being stocked at St. Luke’s Hospital.  Since these are not compatible for use with many of the present meters, the Department of Health is offering to lend, on an exchange basis, the appropriate new meter free of charge to those diabetics who have bought their own meter.  Therefore patients entitled to free strips i.e. patients under the age of 35, who are on insulin and who have bought their own meter, are kindly invited to attend at the Diabetes Clinic in St. Luke’s Hospital as hereunder:-
