A new service has been started by nurses in the West Midlands for diabetes patients with mental health problems associated with their condition.
Warwick Medical School has developed a ?diabetes listener? service for patients experiencing ?diabetes-specific distress?. The problem is associated with poor glycaemic control whereas co-morbid depression is not.
The service involved a nurse with additional diabetes and mental health training offering patients up to six 45 minute appointments.
