The Royal United Hospital, Bath, has introduced a new acute diabetes service, which is improving the way it cares for patients with the condition.
Between 15 to 20 per cent of all the patients seen at the RUH have diabetes and this number is predicted to continue to increase.
Treatment is generally more complex and their hospital stay can be longer than for those without diabetes.
In the past the RUH relied on individual wards letting its diabetes team know that they had patients with diabetes.
