Labour — Gloucester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Type 1 Diabetes and Disordered Eating Services

Contribution

My hon. Friend makes the important point that this issue affects so many people. I have direct experience with a family member who had type 1 diabetes and what, back then, was referred to as diabulimia. They could not get support because the medical profession did not accept that it was a condition. Does my hon. Friend agree that part of tackling this issue is recognising its impact on families across the country, as that is the first step to ensuring that people get the support they need?
