Top Doctors recently spoke to revered internal medicine specialist and diabetologist, Dr Yohan Samarasinghe, who here in this article below, outlines the main causes and warning signs of type 2 diabetes.

 
'It is diagnosed by a specific blood test to determine how bloody one’s red blood cells have been in the past three months because that’s how long a red blood cell lasts.'
What?? How bloody your blood cells are? The whole article has the feel of having been written by a Daily Mail journalist (other brands of looroll are available).
 
I've not heard of 'topdoctors' before. Domain seems to have a Spanish registrar.

I can't find much about the consultant mentioned elsewhere, and can only find 3 published papers.

Not trying to construct a strawman, but increasingly I get a slight itch when a piece stresses how revered and respected a clinician is - 'topdoctors' being an example. ("Top Doctors is a globally recognised market leader in private healthcare...").

There's not much here that isn't on DUK/NHS, but about 8 links and panels encouraging readers to book a private appointment 😉
