Low Glucose Levels In Type 2 Diabetes Sufferers

EDM number 796 in 2009-10, proposed by Keith Vaz on 03/02/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Health education and preventive medicine.

That this House commends research undertaken by Cardiff University into the dangers of letting blood glucose levels drop too low in type 2 diabetes sufferers; notes the health problems associated with letting blood glucose go too high or too low; further notes that it is essential that even levels of blood glucose are maintained in type 2 diabetes sufferers; supports the call for diabetes sufferers to undertake regular check-ups to ensure the most appropriate treatment is provided, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise; is concerned that more than 145,000 new cases of diabetes, mostly type 2, were diagnosed in the past year; urges the Government to investigate further the overall effect of intensification of glucose control with insulin therapy and its link to a heightened risk of death; and encourages the Government to provide guidelines on regular check-ups and advice on managing diabetes to sufferers and their practitioners.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
