[QUOTE="swine1, post: 82313, member: 6371"] Hey this is a bit of great news for us folk. The good old Diabetes.co.uk have done it again. First there was the Silent assassin, Remember him???? and now we got this. According to diabetes charity Diabetes UK, over 300 people with diabetes are admitted to hospital each week with heart attacks . Furthermore, some 65 required amputation of the toe or foot . To reach the conclusions, researchers analysed a National Health Service study of 1.5 million people with diabetes . Diabetics are up to five times more likely to suffer from a heart attack, and are two-three times more likely to have a stroke . Furthermore, these types of diabetes complications cause around 50 per cent of diabetes fatalities. The Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, Douglas Smallwood, reportedly commented: " Diabetes is the biggest health challenge currently facing the UK. Cardiovascular disease is the most common diabetes complication, sadly accounting for at least half of the 70 diabetes-attributable deaths that occur every day. Whilst we can't say for certain whether diabetes is the sole contributing factor behind these new figures, we do know from a wealth of previous research that there is a very strong link."................................................................aHH I feel great today or did till I read this. Have these people no sense of humor ? But to be fair it kind of explaines the waiting times at out patients. Nurse said sorry we got loads of heart attacks Strokes and amputations today, can you come back a week on Tuesday ?? I said Sh-t thats what I can't do, but I can put it off for a week. I read such a lot of great topics on here that give me hope and encouragement. This smacks in the face and kills loads of the great stories and achievements that have unfolded on the forum. But cheer up You must have read (were all doomed) and (The silent Assasain). I would recommend everyone on the forum to be part of the other 50%. Live long and prosper. [/QUOTE]
