πToday is World Diabetes Day.
We want to take a moment to discuss the potential impact of Diabetes on Ear Health.
π¨The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) estimates that by 2025, more than 5 million people in the UK will be diagnosed with diabetes [NICE, 2020a]
πDiabetes is a condition where sugar levels in blood are too high because the body isn't producing any or enough of the hormone insulin which helps to regulate sugar levels.
πPatients with Diabetes will treat their condition with managing their diet, medication in tablet form and/or by injecting insulin.
π¦ One of the complications of Diabetes is being more prone to infection.
πAt Causeway Clear Ears, Our Specialist Nurses treats a large number of patients with Ear Infections and a significant number of these patients will have Diabetes which is why we take time at the start of your appointment to take your medical history relevant to your Ear Health.
π©ββοΈThis aids us in our decision making about the safest and most appropriate form of Ear Care to provide.
π¨ββWhen we diagnose an infection we will link in with your GP to recommend an appropriate treatment.
πRegular Ear Care is a helpful way for our Diabetic patients to help reduce the risk of developing Ear Infections.
