MANY Mail readers will have diabetes, a serious condition that affects more than two million people in the UK.

Diabetes UK is joining forces with the All Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes and the Hansard Society to launch a new online public consultation to help assess the state of diabetes healthcare in your area.

We would like as many people as possible to log on to www.diabetesdialogue.org.uk between now and October 31 and choose a topic to comment on.

Comments will form the basis of a report on the state of diabetes care in the UK which will be launched in the House of Commons in December.
