Of course curing type I should be a priority, but denying the monitoring to children is unconscionable. I suppose they are denying the monitoring to adult type I, as well.
It is a significant fact that that type I is a predominantly White disease and that type II is predominantly Black and minority.
I agree with you on this.It is going to kill a lot of children by denying them the tools to live with type 1. I am lucky that I survived this long without having the treatments they do today.This basically turns the treatment of type 1 back to the 1960’s. You can’t use an insulin pump without being able to use testing before and after meals.

.
The monitoring should be primarily urine testing, not meter testing. Stable habits are of far more value than monitoring.
