Did you know that Arthritis and Diabetes are closely linked? 🖇️
Nearly half of adults with diabetes also have arthritis + and people with arthritis have a 61% higher risk of developing diabetes.

Why? Because both conditions can share common factors, such as:
- Immune system dysfunction
- Genetics
- Inflammation
- Obesity
- Inactivity

High blood sugar can cause damage to the joints through oxidative stress and inflammation. 🫸🦵

Suffering from one autoimmune disease is often a risk factor for another. In addition, steroid medications, used to manage arthritis, can raise blood sugar and increase diabetes risk, while others, like DMARDs and TNF inhibitors, may help improve blood sugar control. ⚖️

Our Rheumatology Consultants offer personalised care for arthritis and related conditions, helping you manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Frequent trips to the loo keeping you up at night? 🚰 If you’re a man experiencing urinary symptoms – such as getting up at night several times to pass urine, a weak flow, or feeling you can’t empty your bladder fully – it could be more than just age catching up with you.

Mr Jai Seth, Consultant Urological Surgeon at New Victoria Hospital, explains how an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH) can affect bladder outflow, when to see a Urologist, and the effective treatments available. 👨‍⚕️✅

Your gut and your heart are more connected than you might think. 🦠❤️

A healthy digestive system doesn’t just affect your comfort – research* suggests gut microbiome can influence blood pressure, cholesterol, and even heart health. But ongoing digestive issues can also signal underlying conditions that need attention.

If you’re experiencing persistent bloating, abdominal pain, reflux, or changes in bowel habits, it’s important not to ignore the signs. Our Gastroenterology Consultants provide expert assessments and advanced diagnostics, including endoscopy and colonoscopy, to identify causes and create tailored treatment plans.
