DAVID Eby on Monday outlined new rules to strengthen public health care in B. C. and guard against U. S.-style privatization. Every BC NDP candidate has signed on to a Public Health Care Guarantee that commits to protecting public health care and stopping out-of-pocket charges, as is happening now in Alberta under a Conservative government.

“Universal public health care is an expression of who we are as Canadians. It’s a promise that we take care of each other, no matter who you are or how big your bank account is,” said David Eby, BC NDP leader. “That’s why hundreds of health workers are coming from the U. S. to build their lives here in B. C. They want to focus on the care their patients need, not what an insurance company says they’re qualified for. Every single one of our candidates is committed to protecting what makes us stronger and stopping American-style privatization.”

Continuous glucose monitors help type 2 diabetes patients spend 5 more hours a day in healthy blood sugar range - Medical Xpress

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
