New research has revealed that good-quality care for young people with type 1 diabetes is unevenly distributed throughout Ireland. The research was carried out by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and the Department of Sociology in University College Cork (UCC) and published in the BMC Health Services Research journal.
Dr Diarmuid Smith, Consultant Endocrinologist, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, said: ?Our research found that national austerity measures appear to be negatively impacting health services for young adults with type 1 diabetes in Ireland. There is a need for more doctors and diabetes nurses who specialise in the treatment of diabetes, as well as allied health professionals to support diabetes patients in Ireland.?
