Diabetes UK campaigns in Parliament to achieve the standards of care that people with diabetes deserve. We raise awareness of diabetes and issues which affect people with the condition through parliamentary questions, debates and a programme of events. We are active amongst select committees and provide the secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes.
We give parliamentarians the opportunity to learn more about diabetes and its complications and provide briefings to MPs and Members of the House of Lords about diabetes upon request.
Diabetes UK has over 170,000 members and represents the interests of people with diabetes as well as healthcare professionals. We regularly invite people with diabetes and healthcare professionals to our events in Parliament.
