A campaigner has met with Nigel Evans MP calling him to back Diabetes UK?s call for Government action to end the postcode lottery of diabetes healthcare, which is fuelling a major health crisis.
Gordon Dixon, who has Type 2 diabetes, travelled to Westminster to meet the Ribble Valley MP as part of a lobbying event organised by Diabetes UK to launch its State of the Nation 2013 report.
The report revealed that a postcode lottery of diabetes healthcare in England is fuelling a major health crisis. The report also shows that while there have been improvements in some aspects of care ? such as more people meeting the target level for blood pressure ? in some aspects of care, things have got worse.
