Medtronic has advised that there is a potential connectivity issue, which requires everyone using the Guardian Connect system to update to version 3.2.2 of the Guardian Connect app as soon as possible.

Starting in April, the NDSS Helpline will also be contacting people registered with the NDSS to make sure their contact details are up-to-date.

These are the product changes for April 2018.

The Australian Government is now providing access to fully-subsidised continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) products through the NDSS to eligible children and young people living with type 1 diabetes. NDSS Access Points and pharmacists play a vital role in ensuring these children and young people have access to the CGM products they need to manage their diabetes.

During March and April 2018, Diabetes Australia will be undertaking our annual customer satisfaction survey of the NDSS.

On 1 January 2018, the Australian Government increased the co-payments of NDSS products in line with rises in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

It has been brought to our attention that some pharmacies and registrants have received a duplicate invoice for previous NDSS product sales.

These are the product changes for November 2017.

Please be aware that there is a possible scam targeting people registered with the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).
