It is normally an England regional programme. However the summary for Monday under London for 24 October is:
"BBC health correspondent Dominic Hughes investigates the 'epidemic' of type 2 diabetes and its impact on patients and NHS finances. Dr Ranj Singh asks if the NHS could save millions by offering more bariatric surgery to type 2 patients."
Sounds like Panorama Mark II. Or the continuing BBC campaign against people with type 2 diabetes.
However, the content appears to be slanted differently in each of the regions. For example the North East sounds quite positive: "we meet the Newcastle professor who hopes he's found a way to reverse the symptoms of type 2 - and hear from Hartlepool's musical star Amelia Lily on how she has reached the top while coping with type 1 diabetes since she was a child."
East sound rather more negative: "Experts warn the predicted rise in preventable diabetes is putting huge strain on health service finances. With increasing numbers of young people now being diagnosed, the health service is facing a ticking time bomb. So is this a crisis that will bankrupt our already fragile NHS? Inside Out interviews doctors, researchers, a health economist and the NHS clinical director for obesity and diabetes."
North West: "Inside Out investigates the 'epidemic' (sic) of type 2 diabetes and its impact on patients and NHS finances. We reveal how a team from Manchester Metropolitan University is aiming to reduce the recurrence of foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes, as they test a groundbreaking new system of treatment. Dianne Oxberry meets one man on the study who narrowly escaped a double amputation."
West Midlands: "Ayo Akinwolere investigates diabetes and the scale of the challenge it presents to the NHS for Inside Out West Midlands. Birmingham has some of the highest diabetes rates in the country, and the programme looks at how changing your diet can bring massive improvements to health."
