As some of you may already know there was a debate today in parliament on type one diabetes and its impact on young people. It can be viewed through this link
www.parliamentlive.tv/Player.aspx?meetingId=6569
The debate is from the very beginning of the recording here and lasts for 90 minutes. It is a private members debate and took place in the Westminster Hall room rather than the main Commons debating chamber.
I will not give you my own opinion of what was said in this initial post so that you have the chance to view it for yourself and form your own opinion without it being influenced by mine. Plus I also think I need to re-watch the second half as my viewing was somewhat distracted by the footie starting on the box! 😎 I would say however that whether you agree with what is said or not it does seems to be a worthwhile viewing as it covers a number of topics that have been covered here on recent threads inn the general messageboard, posts by parents and our younger members and also in the pumping section.
There are also occasional glimpses of the public audience if anyone attended!
As the title suggests it is primarily about T1 diabetes but there was a debate on T2 diabetes last week, the details of which can be found here
