What the petition asks
Funding to find a cure for Diabetes
Diabetes is on the increase, but we are yet to find a cure.
There is a wide age range in the UK, affected by Diabetes, from newly born to people in the 80's
The benefits would mean that sufferers of the disease would have a better far better quality of life. Live longer and alleviate the pressure put on the NHS and save millions of pounds. This would not not just impact on hundreds of thousands of people in the UK, but millions of people around the world. A cure would also generate millions in revenue for the UK.
