Prime Minister David Cameron has recognised the need for more diabetes technology to be available on the NHS – providing a boost to JDRF’s #CountMeIn campaign for greater government support.

Mr Cameron responded during Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday to a report published on the state of diabetes healthcare.

He said: “An enormous amount of exciting new technology is coming forward on diabetes, and I want to make sure that this technology is rapidly adopted by the NHS.”

The Prime Minister was responding to a Diabetes UK report, which highlights that there has been very little improvement in diabetes healthcare over the past year. His response comes after the delivery of JDRF’s #CountMeIn petition to Number 10 Downing Street only last week – calling on the Government to increase funding for type 1 diabetes research.
