Happy 70th birthday to our NHS!
Our National Health Service is turning 70 this year. Over the past 70 years we’ve seen some amazing achievements in healthcare and for people with diabetes the NHS has been a life-saving organisation.
Live Q&A with Dr David Cavan on Monday 25 June 2018
Diabetes.co.uk will be conducting a live Q&A with internationally renowned diabetes expert and author Dr David Cavan on Monday 25 June.
Diabetes Week: Talking low carb with healthcare professionals
Healthcare professionals (HCPs) should be helping you towards achieving healthy blood sugar levels as best you can.
Some HCPs are great at this. However, we have heard people with diabetes saying how they’ve been achieving amazing results and perfectly healthy sugar levels through eating low carb, only to be told by someone in their health team that they’re doing it all wrong!
Diabetes Week: Communicating with partners
This year’s Diabetes Week theme is ‘Talk About Diabetes’ and so I’m looking at how we talk about diabetes with our partners.
Diabetes affects both partners, not just the person with diabetes. The partner will share many of the difficulties and emotions that the person with diabetes does.
Diabetes Week: Let’s talk about sex
Sex is an important part of life for many of us and probably an area which many of us could benefit from better communication with our partners.
Diabetes can influence sex so talking about it can be good for your partnership and the sex you have.
Diabetes Week: Embracing questions about your diabetes
Diabetes Week represents an opportunity to help others to understand more about diabetes. I encourage those of you who are ready to, to embrace answering questions on diabetes.
Questions about your diabetes can sometimes feel intrusive for some of us but on the other side of things, they’re also a good chance to help people to better understand the condition we have.
