This week Theresa May became the first British Prime Minister who will have to manage Type 1 diabetes (on top of managing a country that’s just voted to exit from the European Union).

I’ve tried to follow the monitoring schedule that an insulin dependent diabetic is prescribed and it’s incredibly time and energy consuming. I can’t imagine that Theresa May’s lived experience won’t lead to her helping the NHS get behind the International Diabetes Federation’s call to embed mHealth and make it a compulsory part of how we provide quality care to citizens who have diabetes.
