Yesterday the new Government set out plans in the #KingsSpeech 👑Here's everything you need to know about what it means for people living with diabetes, and improving the nation's health 👇

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Big thanks to local residents who came to see me today with @DiabetesUK to discuss what we can do to prevent diabetes and save lives.

@UKLabour believes that prevention is even better than cure and I’m determined to cut the prevalence of diabetes as well as improving treatment.

[Diabetes UK @DiabetesUK]

Health comes first 👏

It's clear that for more people to live longer, healthier lives the government has a responsibility to create the right environment first.

Today we're launching a vital new campaign to increase access to life-changing diabetes tech and reduce inequality in access!

[Diabetes UK @DiabetesUK]

Having the right tech can be life-changing.

📢 That's why this #DiabetesWeek we're calling for everyone to have access to the diabetes tech they’re eligible for, no matter who they are or where they live.

[Tony Wilson @tonywilsonIES]

Can see more clearly here how far the change in economic inactivity since pandemic is being driven by long-term ill health.
Student numbers falling, 'early retirement' is back below pre-pandemic levels.
Need to do far better on helping people with long-term conditions.

"I would watch TV shows about diet & health, they all assumed that people with diabetes had no self-control. That made me feel worthless.

That's why I made this painting, to show how we try to keep our balance as we try to cope with the world around us." #DiabetesWeek
