A new diabetes centre has opened at Watford General Hospital in the face of a massive increase in cases.
West Herts Hospitals NHS Trust says 17 per cent of its inpatients at any one time have diabetes while nationally the number of people with the condition has doubled to 2.9 million in the last 16 years.
The centre has been named after Dr Michael Clements, who has worked at the trust as a consultant endocrinologist for 24 years and treated thousands of patients.
He said: ?I am delighted and humbled to have this opportunity to open a building that will provide a superb environment in which our dedicated staff can provide a modern service for patients with diabetes for many years to come.

I'm guessing that isn't an insulin syringe in the picture, and how many people use syringes nowadays anyway? 🙄
