The Integrated Management of Soria, given the news that appears ensuring that Sacyl will decrease the number of glycemia control strips delivered to diabetics, and the restlessness that this generates in patients, reports that it will maintain the same criteria for delivery of deliveryEntras in force until now, adapted to the type of diabetes, to the treatment that each one entails, to the stability in their controls and the control needs scheduled by health professionals, according to the assistance processes and the existing clinical evidence.
This oscillates self -controls from 0 in patients with DM2 (type 2 diabetes mellitus), with treatment only with diet, up to 4 to 10 times/day in patients with an infusion pump and stable controls, or more in which theircontrols are unstable.
According to data closing data of the 2012 Services portfolio, 5,260 people (6.6 % of the population over 14 years old) are diagnosed in Diabetes.
In that period, 734,550 glycemic control strips to these patients were delivered, in addition, another 87,900 strips in controls in the local health centers and local offices were used.
For 2013, a contest for the purchase of 690,200 strips for delivery to patients, which added to stocks in warehouses, make a number similar to last year.
However, from the integrated management of Soria, the need for patients to conform to the prescription performed, since the realization of more self -analysis of the guidelines is emphasized, a greater risk of making mistakes, in addition to making an expense, in addition to making an expensenecessary, that detracts essential resources for other uses.

Let's see
As far as I know in mathematics 734550 strips between 5260 people go out to 139 strips per person and year.
Taking into account that almost everyone should be insulin -dependent and many with basal bolus treatment ... These figures indicate that patients have fewer strips than they should.
