Rare Disorders NZ has made a submission on Pharmac's proposal to fund continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and insulin pump consumables.

We welcome the inclusion of pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus in the conditions that these products are proposed to be funded for, and appreciate that the definition used includes rare causes of pancreatogenic diabetes like Cystic Fibrosis and Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus.
