Three in five people with diabetes experience emotional or mental health problems
Three in five people with diabetes experience emotional or mental health problems New research from Diabetes UK finds that one in five people living with diabetes uses counselling from a trained professional to help them manage their diabetes.
In one of the largest surveys carried out by Diabetes UK, 8,500 people of different ages, ethnicities and backgrounds from across the UK shared their experiences living with diabetes today, and what their hopes and fears were for the future.
Participants told us that diabetes affects their emotional wellbeing, with three in five (64 per cent) saying that they often or sometimes feel down because of their diabetes. One in three (33 per cent) said that diabetes got in the way of them or a family member doing things they wanted to do. Alarmingly only three in ten (30 per cent) said they definitely felt in control of their diabetes.

Theresa May pays tribute to people who work within the NHS
Theresa May pays tribute to people who work within the NHS My visit to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital in the aftermath of the sickening terrorist attack in May was something I will never forget.
To see the pain those children were in and witness the traumatic impact on their families was absolutely heartbreaking.
But something else has stayed with me from that visit, too. For there, in response to the worst that humanity could do, I saw the very best. The Daily Mail

Scandal of private health sharks overcharging patients
Scandal of private health sharks overcharging patients Patients who pay for private surgery are falling victim to massive price variations of up to £12,000 for the same procedure.
A report by medical industry experts shows that depending on the provider and location, the quoted price of a total hip replacement ranges from £8,945 to £14,880, while a commonly performed varicose vein procedure can cost anything from £1,995 to £4,340.
However, a Mail on Sunday investigation has found that patients are often being charged several times this amount, with one woman quoted £15,000 for a vein operation. The Daily Mail
