Insulin Pumps: A New Lease for Life

That the Parliament congratulates Diabetes UK Scotland on the publication of Insulin Pumps: a new lease for life, which brings to life the issues around insulin pump therapy in Scotland through the stories of people who currently benefit from pumps; commends the contribution of the people who contributed their personal stories to the report and also the imaginative graphics of Marc Hillis, a young pump user from Glasgow; commends the support of healthcare professionals who also contributed to the report; notes that the number of people with type 1 diabetes in Scotland on pump therapy remains very low in relation to the number who could benefit, and looks forward to the publication of the new Scottish diabetes action plan and a renewed commitment to ensuring that insulin pump therapy is available to those who can benefit from it wherever they live in Scotland.
