Update on the Diabetes Care Programme
At our recent AGM, it became clear that some members were still unsure about the recent changes to the Scheme's diabetes management arrangements, particularly around the discontinuation of the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology (CDE) Programme.
Julia le Roux, Principal Officer of AMS, explained that the Scheme was given very short notice by the CDE regarding the termination of its services to all clients, including AMS, effective 30 April 2025. As a result, there was unfortunately limited time to notify members in advance.
Importantly, although the CDE is no longer managing the diabetes programme, members are assured of continued care. Members will still have access to the Diabetes Care Programme through a network of healthcare providers. The key change is that doctors no longer dispense medication directly. Instead, members must now collect their diabetes medication from a network pharmacy.
