Spotting the early warning signs can save a life.

Type 1 diabetes can develop quickly, especially in children and young adults. Recognising the symptoms early means getting treatment fast and avoiding serious complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The Four Tโ€™s are an easy way to remember what to look out for:

๐Ÿญ. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐˜†
Extreme thirst that doesnโ€™t go away, even after drinking plenty of fluids.

๐Ÿฎ. ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜
Needing to urinate far more often than usual, including waking up at night.

๐Ÿฏ. ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ
Unusual fatigue, lack of energy, or falling asleep more often.

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ
Sudden or unexplained weight loss.

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, donโ€™t wait. Contact a GP or NHS 111 immediately.

Raising awareness of the Four Tโ€™s could help someone get the diagnosis and support they need sooner.

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in your kidneys. They can be painful, but knowing the signs, symptoms, and treatment options can help you act quickly.

โ— Severe pain in your back, side, or lower abdomen
โ— Pain that comes in waves or fluctuates in intensity
โ— Blood in your urine (pink, red, or brown)
โ— Nausea or vomiting
โ— Frequent urination or a persistent urge to urinate
โ— Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜:
Most small stones can pass naturally by drinking plenty of water ๐Ÿ’ง and taking pain relief.
Larger stones may require:
โ— Medical procedures to break up the stone (lithotripsy)
โ— Surgical removal in rare cases
โ— Preventative measures to reduce recurrence, like dietary changes

This inflammation can be triggered by infections, autoimmune diseases, or other underlying conditions, and it affects your kidneysโ€™ ability to filter waste and excess fluids from your blood.
