DIABETES MISDIAGNOSIS

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that an estimated 100,000 people have been misdiagnosed diabetes or wrongly told which form of the disease they have; further notes that these mistakes have been made because of a lack of understanding of the condition by doctors and health professionals; recognises the impact of information and advice on preventing Type 2 diabetes alongside improving lifestyle factors; and calls on the Government to invest in a national framework and guidelines to steer GPs, to ensure quality of service and to avoid further misdiagnosis.
