Continuous Glucose Monitoring devices The Maltese Diabetes Association welcomes the government’s introduction of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices for children and adolescents under 16 and living with type 1 diabetes. These CGM devices, which will be given to these persons at no charge by the health authorities, will, undoubtedly, relieve parents from the hefty monthly expenses they had to incur to purchase this device and related supplies. It will also relieve these youngsters from having to prick their fingers at least four times a day to test their sugar levels and provide peace of mind for both the child/adolescent and their parents/guardians.
