That this House welcomes World Diabetes Day on 14 November 2010; recognises the impact of diabetes in the UK and worldwide; notes that approximately 230 million people currently suffer from diabetes worldwide and that many more may be undiagnosed; further notes that World Diabetes Day provides much-needed global awareness of the condition; and urges the Government to work with charities and practitioners to increase public awareness of the condition and the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle.
