That this House supports World Diabetes Day on 14 November 2018 where millions of people around the world come together to raise awareness of diabetes including the 4.6 million who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the UK and 425 million that are estimated to suffer from diabetes worldwide; commends all individuals and organisations that have taken up the blue light challenge where monuments and local landmarks in areas across the world are turned blue in support of World Diabetes Day; further commends the hundreds of other people across the UK for taking blue circle selfies, wearing blue and organising events and screenings for World Diabetes Day; and urges the Government to support the NHS in funding diabetes prevention programmes and improving standards of care for diabetic patients.

Well, that's nice.

Unfortunately they may have a few more pressing issues to argue about today.

I will keep an eye on it.

Not forgetting 1852:

ACCESS TO FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING

Session: 2017-19
Date tabled: 19.11.2018
Primary sponsor: Vaz, Keith
Sponsors:
That this House congratulates the decision made by NHS England on World Diabetes Day to fund flash glucose monitoring for Type 1 diabetes patients across England from April 2019; commends all individuals and organisations that have continuously campaigned to end the postcode lottery for this life changing device which reduces the need for finger-prick blood tests and can make it much easier for the millions of people with diabetes to manage their condition; and urges the Government to allow access immediately and make Flash available to Type 2 diabetes patients as well.
