Mental Healthcare for Diabetes
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the call from Diabetes Scotland for all people with diabetes to have access to the appropriate psychological, emotional and mental healthcare to help them manage their condition; notes that a recent survey found that seven out of 10 people have felt overwhelmed by the demands of living with diabetes; understands that people living with diabetes have to manage their condition 365 days a year, which demands constant attention and awareness, which can be a challenge to cope with, and hopes that the next Diabetes Improvement Plan will make access to emotional and mental health support a key component.
