Our work in Parliament
We work to raise the profile of diabetes in Westminster and the devolved parliaments across the UK to improve the lives of everyone living with and at risk of diabetes. We bring together our robust evidence base with people’s real life experiences to show parliamentarians and policymakers why it is vital that they improve diabetes care and stop the rise in type 2 diabetes.
We reach decision-makers in lots of different ways, including hosting events in parliament, attending party conferences, giving evidence to inquiries, and organising meetings with parliamentarians.
Our incredible community of people affected by diabetes help us to make an impact by writing to their MPs, contributing to our campaigns and sharing their own stories.
10-Year Vision for Diabetes Prevention, Care and Treatment
In May 2025, we handed an open letter to the Prime Minister outlining our 10-year vision to transform diabetes prevention, care and treatment.
Reverse the Trend report
In May 2024, we published a new report on the impact and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in children and adults under 40. We launched the report at a parliamentary reception in Westminster to share our recommendations with MPs and other decision-makers.
