The cost of diabetic foot ulcers and amputations to the National Health Service in England
- 995-1002
- 19 April 2019
What's new?
- At least 2% of people with diabetes experience new foot ulcers annually, and one in 400 undergoes amputation.
- The cost of diabetic foot disease in England is almost 1% of the health service budget.
- More than 90% of these costs are for ulcer care.
- It is hoped that knowledge of human and financial costs will increase research effort, clinical attention and compliance with national guidance, to improve ulcer healing rates and reduce amputations.
The prevalence of diabetes‐specific emotional distress in people with Type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
- 1508-1520

Twenty‐five years of diabetes distress research
- 393-400
- 22 October 2019
What's new?
- Diabetes distress is common among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and is associated with lower levels of self-care, general emotional well-being and possibly metabolic outcomes of diabetes care.
- Whilst there has been a wealth of research on diabetes distress, we have limited data to show that distress is associated with the development of long-term complications of diabetes, and we have little insight into how diabetes distress develops.
- There is emerging evidence that the way healthcare professionals communicate with people with diabetes may be exacerbating the distress experienced by people with diabetes, or possibly contributing to its development.
- Healthcare professionals need to ensure that the way they communicate with people who have diabetes does not add to the distress that diabetes engenders.
- We need to embed the assessment and management of diabetes distress into the routine diabetes care services we offer people with diabetes.
