Diabetes Aniad points to an act of health management

Ferrieri and Giacomodonato point to an act of the health directorate on insulin pumps.

This time, diabetic badociations Bbado Molise and dell & # 39; Aniad, Association of Diabetic Athletes-Bbado Molise, are protesting and claiming their rights.

"This time, the treatment and control system for type 1 diabetes is targeted!" That's what Giuseppe Ferrieri, president of the Diabetes Association Bbado Molise and Rocco Fernando Giacomodonato, president of Aniad (Association of Diabetic Athletes – Molise Section), said. denounce the decision of executive power 201 of 17 October 2018 of the Director General of Health. from the region of Molise. "With this determination, the Regional Technical Committee for Diabetic Disease publishes the" Guidelines for Insulin Therapy Using Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems ", which give guidance on levels of badistance for patients. diabetics who implanted the pumps (computerized pumps delivering insulin continuously and at meals).

Indeed, thanks to the technological evolution, the quality of life of the diabetic patients has known an extraordinary improvement: thanks to the pumps of insulin, the patient is not obliged to make several injections daily and can profit from 39, a freedom, a flexibility and a precision unthinkable a few years ago. It must be said that the Antidiabetic Center of Termoli was the first to introduce and distribute the Molise treatment with the pump and today, it is precisely the Low Molise that displays a percentage of implementation of micro-pumps corresponding 60% of the entire regional territory. So where's the problem? It happens that in the "Guidelines", Article 3 surreptitiously shows the disconcerting adverb "only", which allows to execute the prescription and the system exclusively at the hospital of Campobbado. And in Termoli, completely residual, the task of a generic activity of education and therapeutic instruction remains entrusted.

The pedagogy of diabetes, in short. Will there be a hand here too that, unbeknownst to the "Technical Committee", has included the infamous "unique"? Hard to believe, given that the committee that developed the guidelines, in flagrant conflicting interests, is one of those who currently lead Cardarelli's diabetes. Just as disconcerting and literally offensive to the medical and nursing staff of our territory, rich in decades of experience, claim that he does not have the specialized skills necessary to implant pumps.

We simply wish to mention that in Termoli, only in the first half of 2018, 39 new pumps were also applied to people coming from Campobbado and surrounding areas. It is shocking, on the part of those who claim the exclusivity of the factory, to believe that the multidisciplinary team of San Timoteo Hospital of Termoli is not up to date and to lead "only" to Campobbado an operation which, the figures in hand, is carried out at maximum percentage in Termoli, elsewhere in the region.

We are sure that the D.D. 201 of 17/10/2018 will be examined by eliminating, as discriminators, excessive and unfair, the word "only" from the article of the Guidelines, as determined by them themselves, also referring to Termoli an essential service which has always been done with self-sacrifice, professionalism and numbers. Because patients on the Molise coast do not always have to be in Serie B, they are forced, as often happens, to move to other regions, if only because of proximity ".
