Campaigning

We have carried out much local campaigning over the years, from pushing for more paediatric diabetes nurses, better access to insulin pumps and improved understanding of the difference of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

We are currently liaising with the Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group and the Paediatric Diabetes service at MK General Hospital to ensure that children and young people with type 1 diabetes get the best access to advice and equipment.

We have also been encouraging parents to influence their local schools using the materials recently published by Diabetes UK.
