Closed petition Act now for children with Type 1 diabetes

Closed on

My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in November 2018. Many parents don't know the signs to look out for. If people were made aware of the symptoms and primary school children were screened for diabetes, it would save a lot of lives & they could be treated sooner rather than later.

The Government must fund an awareness raising programme so that all teachers and parents know what symptoms to look for and set up a Primary School screening programme to test children for Type 1 Diabetes. If the schools tested all children in primary school, then children’s lives would be saved.
