English: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to start by thanking everyone who has taken part in today's debate, and also to thank Jayne, really, our colleague, for the invaluable work that she does on the cross-party group for diabetes. We've heard today a great deal about some of the technical aspects of caring for those with diabetes, the secondary health complications that can be caused by diabetes, and we've heard about how, through much better support in terms of managing health and exercise, type 2 diabetes is both a preventable and curable disease. Thus, it is important that we recognise the necessity to reinforce the need for people to take responsibility for their health and lifestyle in order to play their part in reducing their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A major element of this is for individuals to be knowledgeable about what the risk factors are for diabetes, and most importantly, how to reduce them. The approach requires commitment from all partners, including local government, schools, industry, employers, the third sector, health boards, and most importantly the public. I would like to take this opportunity to urge the Government to place a requirement on public bodies and businesses to highlight the signs of diabetes and the preventable measures. This is already widely done for cancer and can be so easily achieved for diabetes. Focusing on the preventability of type 2 diabetes, we have to be aware that there are many reasons people end up with a poor lifestyle, making bad food choices and not getting sufficient exercise. This comes from a variety of sources, with no one single identifiable cause. I would argue that the pathway to developing type 2 diabetes is likely to be very different across the spectrum of those who suffer it. For instance, for some, it might be mental health issues that have led to a sedentary lifestyle; for others, it could be a physical injury that has led to difficulty exercising. But, unfortunately, another prominent cause is poverty, and there is a prevalence of choosing highly calorific foods with low nutritional value because they are cheap. I recognise there is unlikely to be a silver bullet that prevents type 2 diabetes, but I do believe that we need to take every opportunity to educate people regarding eating habits and allow them to develop greater knowledge and understanding of the nutritional aspects of the foods they eat. It is controversial that the hospitality industry should be made to provide nutritional information for every meal or snack that they provide -
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl heddiw, a diolch i Jayne, mewn gwirionedd, ein cyd-Aelod, am y gwaith amhrisiadwy y mae'n ei wneud yn y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar ddiabetes. Rydym wedi clywed llawer iawn heddiw am rai o'r agweddau technegol ar ofalu am y rhai sydd â diabetes, y cymhlethdodau iechyd eilaidd y gall diabetes eu hachosi, ac rydym wedi clywed sut y mae diabetes math 2 yn glefyd y gellir ei atal a'i wella drwy gymorth llawer gwell i reoli iechyd ac ymarfer corff. Felly, mae'n bwysig ein bod yn cydnabod bod rhaid inni atgyfnerthu'r angen i bobl gymryd cyfrifoldeb am eu hiechyd a'u ffordd o fyw er mwyn chwarae eu rhan i leihau eu risg o ddatblygu diabetes math 2. Elfen bwysig yn hyn yw i unigolion fod yn wybodus am y ffactorau risg ar gyfer diabetes, ac yn bwysicaf oll, sut i'w lleihau. Mae'r dull hwn yn galw am ymrwymiad gan bob partner, gan gynnwys llywodraeth leol, ysgolion, diwydiant, cyflogwyr, y trydydd sector, byrddau iechyd, ac yn bwysicaf oll, y cyhoedd. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i annog y Llywodraeth i'w gwneud yn ofynnol i gyrff cyhoeddus a busnesau dynnu sylw at arwyddion diabetes a'r pethau y gellir eu gwneud i'w atal. Mae hyn eisoes yn cael ei wneud yn eang ar gyfer canser a gellir ei gyflawni mor hawdd ar gyfer diabetes. Gan ganolbwyntio ar atal diabetes math 2, rhaid inni fod yn ymwybodol fod llawer o resymau pam fod gan bobl ffyrdd o fyw gwael, a pham eu bod yn gwneud dewisiadau gwael o ran yr hyn y maent yn ei fwyta neu wneud digon o ymarfer corff. Mae hyn yn deillio o amrywiaeth o ffynonellau, heb un achos unigol y gellir ei nodi. Byddwn yn dadlau bod y llwybr sy'n arwain at ddatblygu diabetes math 2 yn debygol o fod yn wahanol iawn ar draws sbectrwm y rhai sy'n dioddef ohono. Er enghraifft, i rai, efallai mai problem iechyd meddwl sydd wedi arwain at beidio â gwneud digon o ymarfer corff; i eraill, efallai mai anaf corfforol sydd wedi arwain at anawsterau wrth geisio gwneud ymarfer corff. Ond yn anffodus, mae tlodi'n achos amlwg arall, ac mae nifer yn dewis bwydydd llawn calorïau a gwerth maethol isel oherwydd eu bod yn rhad. Rwy'n cydnabod ei bod yn annhebygol y bydd yna ateb hollgynhwysol sy'n atal diabetes math 2, ond credaf fod angen inni fanteisio ar bob cyfle i addysgu pobl am arferion bwyta a chaniatáu iddynt ddatblygu mwy o wybodaeth a dealltwriaeth o agweddau maethol y bwydydd y maent yn eu bwyta. Mae'n destun dadl p'un a ddylai'r diwydiant lletygarwch orfod darparu gwybodaeth faethol ar gyfer pob pryd neu fyrbryd y maent yn eu darparu -
