Distribution of medical supplies
We promote the treatment and follow-up of long-term illnesses at home. The distribution of medical supplies is based on individual needs. For the distribution of medical supplies, you need a decision from the caring unit.
Medical supplies necessary for treatment are distributed to patients with long-term illness and in outpatient care. The medical supplies given at one time are for 3-12 months.
Medical supplies are free of charge. Nurses in charge of the products provide guidance and advice on issues related to use.
Medical supplies are ordered by e-mail or a call.
Delivery Issues with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensors (October 1, 2025)
The supplier of FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensors, Abbott Diabetes Care, has reported delivery difficulties. Abbott has not been able to estimate the next delivery date.
Due to these delivery issues, our stock of Libre 2 Plus sensors has been depleted. However, you can still place orders as usual, and once we receive more sensors in stock, we will send your order to you. We kindly ask you to be prepared to monitor your blood glucose using the traditional method, i.e., a blood glucose meter.
If your insulin pump (Omnipod5) uses this specific sensor, you may be eligible to receive one.
You also have the option to switch from the Libre 2 Plus to the Libre 3 Plus sensor. You can check your mobile device’s compatibility with the Libre 3 app at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/support/manuals/fi.html, or ask your diabetes clinic for a Libre 3 reader. If you wish to switch sensors, please contact your diabetes nurse.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delivery difficulties.
