Provide your input to parliamentary enquiry on diabetes care

[Prem51]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention @ickihun. I will get round to sending in a submission soon.

 

[ickihun]

@chalup might too.

 

[ickihun]

@ally1 may, I'm not sure. No pressure either way hun.

 

[chalup]

I am in Canada so I don't think my input would be relevant. Sorry about that.

 

[ickihun]

@Jaylee @Oldvatr @CollieBoy and @SunnyExpat maybe.

Thanks for the tag but I live, and was diagnosed, in Thailand so fear I would have little to contribute. Would have loved to if I had been able, thoughh

I'd like to tag @liam1955 @amgrundy @13lizanne @debrasue @Cumberland @Tim55 @david1968 @Diamum5972 @Japes @KimG @Alzebra @RoseofSharon @GeoffersTaylor @Clivethedrive @Molly56 @eldergarth @tina_marie @PenfoldAPD @luna50 and @Chris Thailand @chris lowe @xyzzy

Many thanks for flagging this, @ickihun. Can I also appeal to @Avocado Sevenfold , @Robinredbreast , @Bluetit1802 , @jaylee, @noblehead , @Daibell , @Sable_Jan , @CarbsRok , @CollieBoy , @xyzzy , @catherinecherub . After all the good work you have done on the forum, could you spare a bit of time to do this for change on a national level?

Done & bumping - because, writing your submission might be an excellent use of a cloudy Sunday afternoon?

 

[Japes]

Once term is over and I have a brain to myself, I'm very happy to add to this. Sorry, @ickihun I've only just noticed I was tagged a couple of days ago!

Bumping this along again -- just 12 days left for you to provide your input. Just have a look at the Diabetes UK dietary advice if you need an extra incentive....

Re bumped... Got mine up to the 3000 word.

Having had good and bad diabetes care from differing hospitals it has been good to be able to give praise as well as constructive criticism and ways that they could achieve better communication ie. Going out to workplaces and getting gyms and chemists to sponsor and go along and wouldn't have to give company tax breaks or incentives providing the govt initiative emphasised the benefits of less sick, and more productivity etc..

Thank you so much for informing us...

What a good idea.. Theres a uk facebook for gastroparesis and diabetics.. I'll post it on their too! Just done my facebook.
Brilliant idea..

 

[desidiabulum]

Great idea @tim2000s -- many thanks for your help with this.

8 days left to write your contribution! Lots of people are doing this -- do make sure that your own voice and experiences are heard by the people who have the power to change things.

Emailed and sent by post too. I also emailed my MP and sent him a hard copy too. I've also asked my MP to look in to some concerns I have with my CCG and long term disabilities... Ie they will only rarely fund a CGM for 3 months. This I believe is discriminatory against persons with long term disabilities.. Like me that can only test on 4 fingers and with stomach and colon problems that will need treatment for the rest of my life.

Thank you for raising this... It's very important that diabetic's get to voice opinions on our healthcare. Thank you.
