People with diabetes in Northamptonshire urged to sign petition

Dec. 20 News from our Area Comments Off

People with diabetes living in Northamptonshire are being urged to join a campaign calling for improved safety standards for blood sugar monitors.

These monitoring devices need to be accurate to enable people with diabetes to control their blood sugar within narrow margins1 – inaccurate devices may expose patients to increased risk of hypoglycaemic episodes (very low blood sugar), which are associated with an increase in hospitalisations and deaths.

However, independent laboratory studies have repeatedly suggested some blood glucose monitoring devices available through the NHS did not meet the current international standards for accuracy.

In response, Spirit Healthcare is urging people to sign an online petition to request independent annual testing for all blood glucose monitors used within the National Health Service. It is part of Spirit’s ‘Diabetes Who Cares’ campaign, which aims to improve care for people with the condition.

Chris Barker, managing director of the Leicestershire-based healthcare company, said: “We would like to be joined by as many people as possible in this campaign as we believe this will help improve patient safety and outcomes in the UK. I hope everyone, individuals with diabetes, people from the NHS and also industry representatives will join us in this campaign.”

An official online government petition has been created and if 100,000 names are gained the issue will be considered for a debate in the House of Commons.

To sign the petition, visit http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/56802.

The Barclays branches in Rushden and Thrapston are taking part in a Christmas charity week run by the bank nationally to help the communities they serve.

In partnership with the Rushden food bank run by East Northants Faith Group, non-perishable items can be left in a trolley donated by Wilkinsons at the branch, which will then be distributed to those in need.

Branch manager Vicki Prince said: “We do lots of things like pound for pound, but we wanted to do something different that was going to benefit our local community.

“We are doing it with the Thrapston branch and Rushden food bank run by East Northants Faith Group.

“We contacted them and said this is something we would like to do.

“We are encouraging people to come in and donate non-perishable items, and the church will distribute it to people who need it.

“We are also running a children’s colouring competition where they pay 50p to enter and all the proceeds will go back to the food bank.”

The colouring competition winner will get a prize donated by Osborne’s toy shop in Rushden High Street, with the winner chosen on December 20.

What is the U3A?

U3A stands for the University of the Third Age, which is a self-help organisation for people no longer in full time employment providing educational, creative and leisure opportunities in a friendly environment. It consists of local U3As all over the UK, which are charities in their own right and are run entirely by volunteers. Local U3As are learning cooperatives which draw upon the knowledge, experience and skills of their own members to organise and provide interest groups in accordance with the wishes of the membership. The teachers learn and the learners teach. Between them U3As offer the chance to study over 300 different subjects in such fields as art, languages, music, history, life sciences, philosophy, computing, crafts, photography and walking. A typical U3A has about 250 members but could be as small as 12 and as large as 2000.
