Ireland has the worst standard of diabetes care in western Europe, according to a new international comparison.
The Euro Diabetes Index 2014 ranks Ireland twentieth out of 30 countries, ahead only of countries in eastern and southern Europe.
Despite shadowing the UK in many health indices, in this survey Ireland is “far behind” our British neighbour, according to index director Dr Beatriz Cebolla.
