Diabetes is Serious – England

We’re calling on MPs and the government to commit to take action to ensure everyone living with diabetes gets the care and support they need to live well and to stop the rise in type 2 diabetes. 

On Thursday 3rd July 2025, the government published its 10-Year Health Plan, setting out its ambition to rebuild the NHS and bring care closer to home. We have been involved in making sure that the government knows how important it is that everyone living with diabetes gets the care and support they need to live well.

Getting the voices of people with diabetes heard 

In May 2024 we published a new report on the impact and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in children and adults under 40. Our Campaign Champions joined us to launch the report at a parliamentary reception in Westminster where they shared their own experiences  with MPs and other decisions makers.

In recent years, to demonstrate some of the different challenges our community has faced, we have taken your  messages and artwork to Parliament to show MPs what it’s really like for you to live with diabetes day in, day out.  

This includes our giant scrapbook:
