Yesterday, I met the Diabetes UK Campaign Champions to find out more about the challenges facing one in 14 people in the UK who live with diabetes. As a type 1 diabetic, I support the need to continually improve diabetes care for all and prevention through further research.

Dear Steve Barclay, hybrid closed loop has the potential to transform the lives of people with type 1 diabetes, will you make sure funding isn't a barrier to this innovative and life-changing tech? #DiabetesTechCantWait

If you've seen our call-out this week to ensure hybrid closed loop tech gets national funding when it's rolled out by NHS England, you'll know we're at a vital moment to try to make this happen. Still got questions? We've got you - read more: diabetes.org.uk/about_us/news/…

And this is what research can make happen 🥳 Diabetes UK research was there at the very beginning – driving forward the development of this tech since the 1970s and building the evidence to make it a reality 🫶

📢 Attention all researchers! We've just opened two highlight notices, for new #research into glucose monitoring in hospitals and care homes, and strategies to help more people with #type2diabetes who want to go into #remission and stay there.
