MEPs share key messages on the occasion of World Diabetes Day 2025

17 November 2025

On the occasion of World Diabetes Day 2025, several MEPs, including members of the MEPs Interest Group on Diabetes – MEPs Mobilising for Diabetes (MMD), joined our various events and initiatives at the European Parliament and shared video messages to raise awareness of diabetes.

We extend our sincere thanks to all the MEPs who supported our activities, in particular: Laurent Castillo, Sunčana Glavak, Adam Jarubas, Romana Jerković, Elena Nevado del Campo and Manuela Ripa. Their engagement helps call for stronger policy action at both EU and national levels to improve health outcomes and quality of life for people living with diabetes and those at risk.

A special thank you to MEP Peter Agius for hosting our event organised with our YOURAH network on mental health and the challenges faced by young people living with type 1 diabetes, and to MEPs Paulo Do Nascimento Cabral and Sirpa Pietikäinen for co-hosting our World Diabetes Event highlighting the unique challenges faced by women living with diabetes.
