A LEADING diabetes charity is calling on people in Wiltshire and Swindon to push for change so the condition is given higher priority.
More than half of adults with diabetes in the county are not getting the basic checks and services they need to manage their condition and Diabetes UK is calling for urgent action to improve care in the area.
The 55 per cent of people with diabetes who are not receiving the nine checks and services recommended by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) are at increased risk of diabetes-related complications including heart disease, kidney failure, amputation, blindness and strokes.
