Preseli Pembrokeshire Assembly Member Paul Davies has recently attended the launch of a report on the future of diabetes.

The report highlights a number of actions that can be taken to better support people living with diabetes across Wales, including more support for emotional and psychological health, better access to technology and treatments and more widely available information and education.

Mr. Davies said: “I was delighted to attend the launch of the Diabetes UK report on the future of diabetes services. There are some very interesting technology advances for people living with diabetes, including flash glucose monitoring and it’s crucial that this technology reaches everyone who needs it.”

He added: “It was also great to meet Dr. Sam Rice, consultant physician and endocrinologist from Glangwili Hospital to discuss access to local services. I understand that there are around 24,400 people living with diabetes in the Hywel Dda Health Board area alone and it’s absolutely crucial that these people have access to the latest equipment, treatments and services.”
