Closed petition: Fund closed-loop insulin pumps on the NHS for all type 1 diabetics

Closed on 26 March 2026

Fund closed-loop insulin pumps on the NHS for all people with type 1 diabetes. This technology improves glucose control, reduces complications, and enhances quality of life, helping patients live healthier, more independent lives.

Closed-loop insulin pumps revolutionise type 1 diabetes care by automatically adjusting insulin, improving glucose control, helping to reduce dangerous highs and lows, and preventing long-term complications. We believe they can lower hospital admissions, cut NHS costs and greatly enhance quality of life. Current access is inconsistent, creating a postcode lottery. We think universal NHS provision would help ensure fairness, could save lives, and give every person with Type 1 diabetes a better chance to live fully and independently.
