Diabetes campaigner and MP Keith Vaz officially opened an outpatient centre aimed at tackling the condition suffered by an estimated 50,000 people in the city.
The new department at Leicester General Hospital brings together diabetes outpatient clinics held at Leicester Royal Infirmary and two locations at the General, including temporary buildings.
Mr Vaz said: “This unit will save lives. By having dedicated diabetes services we can treat the condition more effectively and help people manage all aspects of their diabetes in one location.
“As a diabetic, I and others will be very happy to have our care managed under one roof.
“There are 3.3 million people with diabetes in the UK and an estimated 50,000 in Leicester.”
