Chris Maguire, speaking on behalf of BD,
says, "BD is currently supporting those
living with Diabetes, by providing free
open access to BD and Me™ to anyone
who is injecting insulin. This is to ensure
the right advice on injecting insulin safely
and in the correct way is available, as we
know if this doesn't happen, people can
end up with worse HbA1c, more risk of
having a hypo, more chance their blood
sugars will swing from high to low and
mean they might start using higher doses
of insulin to get the same control.
"We are also offering injection
technique webinar and classes to
hospitals/diabetes centres across the
country, which we are carrying out
Dexcom Karen Baxter, Country Director,
UK, Ireland & Belgium, is similarly
reassuring saying, "At Dexcom, we
are tracking the Coronavirus situation
closely with three key priorities in mind:
keeping our employees safe; serving
people with diabetes; and doing what
we can to minimise the spread in our
community. At this time, there is no

education training for those who are new
to injecting insulin or those who may
need a refresher with the latest evidence
and advice. We also have been helping
those injecting insulin by providing them
aids to help practice correct injection
area spacing known as rotation grids and
injection technique kits to help ensure
best practice.
"We have also been working with
the wholesalers, who supply community
pharmacies, to ensure that they all have
our insulin pen needles available. We
make all of our needles in Ireland and
have ensured our production levels have
been correct to ensure no disruption to
those who need them."
