Diabetes APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG provides a conduit for diabetes charities, researchers and experts to parliamentarians. It will facilitate discussions about policy, research and treatment of diabetes.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
