Thank you, Altaf, and thank you for that intervention and, as has already been discussed, one of the issues is the lack of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and the unfamiliarity of the symptoms, so it's crucial to get them covered as well.

So, I have two final points I wish to make. The first is that diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, doesn't just affect the individual; it affects those families and friends who live with and support those who suffer from diabetes. Because not only do they have to watch their loved ones struggle with managing the condition, they have to live with the consequences as well, and there are many hidden aspects, as we have heard, of diabetes that rarely, if ever, come to the surface, for instance, the constant worry of low blood sugar, which is particularly prevalent at night-time or when exercising, when, unfortunately, just one mistake and not eating enough or doing too much exercise or dosing with a bit too much insulin can cause people to slip into a coma.

And lastly I want to use this opportunity today to give a huge offering of thanks to all those who work in hospitals, schools, charities and elsewhere, who give up so much time to help and to support those affected by diabetes. They are truly life savers. And, with that in mind, I would like to urge everyone to support this motion. Thank you.
