Question 13543 — diseases

Summary

Mrs. Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the professional restrictions to which people with type 1 and 2 diabetes are subject. While diabetes affects around 4 million people, access to certain professions remains restricted or even prohibited. Indeed, the regulations in force do not take into account recent therapeutic advances for insulin-treated patients, such as FreeStyle Libre or Omnipod, which allow even the most severe diabetics to lead a normal life and stabilize the disease. These advances in blood glucose self-monitoring produce excellent results, without the law and regulations having been revised. For example, the decree of August 2, 2010 relating to the conditions of particular physical abilities for access to jobs in certain professions officials, prohibits diabetics from accessing national police stations. Under these conditions, many young diabetics find themselves prevented from accessing certain training courses or from pursuing a particular profession, despite their wishes. This was the meaning of the “I make a wish” campaign launched last year by the French Federation of Diabetics (FFD) and the Association for Aid to Young Diabetics (AJD). At the dawn of the day Diabetes World Cup, which will be held on November 14, 2018, she would therefore like to know whether revisions to the regulations in force, taking into account therapeutic advances, are being considered, in order to guarantee people with diabetes equal access to employment.
