replicated in the home too. Over a third
of Brits confirmed they know more about
coffee than they did five years ago and
coffee drinkers are finding new ways to
personalise their drinks, reaching for
flavours from popular vanilla to more
adventurous flavours like salted caramel."
The survey revealed the average Brit
has their first cup of coffee at 8am, with
51 percent of us now owning our own
coffee machine at home. As many as
76% claimed they regularly experiment
with different styles and flavours of coffee.
Over half of those who own a machine
have a capsule machine, while 25% have
a filter system and 15% own an espresso
machine, but 25% admit to having a jar
of instant in the kitchen cupboard to give
to friends when we can't be bothered to
make a proper cup.

The famous National Geographic
publisher has unveiled a new magazine
dedicated to celebrating every facet of
food. National Geographic Food (UK)
brings to life the great storytelling ethos
of the National Geographic brand in the
food arena, combining practical recipes,
insightful reports and so-good-you-canalmost-taste-it photography.
Whether it's
the truth behind a trend, a secret history
unveiled, a favourite recipe to covet or
the bumpy journey from farm to fork,
the 164-page magazine will champion
sustainability, celebrate local culture and
people, and present it all with glorious
photography and superb storytelling.
The first issue is available now and
contains a feature on top chef Mitch Tonks
looking at sustainable seasonal fish and
how to prepare it. Sabrina Ghayour looks
at five interesting ways to use harissa,
while in a regular feature called 'Meet the
pioneers', a chef is interviewed who is a
pioneer in the current food scene. In the
first month it's Ben Chapman on fusing
authentic Thai dishes with UK ingredients.
The new magazine is being brought
to you by APL Media Limited, which
launched and publishes the successful
National Geographic Traveller (UK)
magazine. The magazine will retail for
£4.30. As an introductory offer, readers
have the opportunity to subscribe to the
first three issues for £3.

Why may people with diabetes experience problems with their feet?
In a person with diabetes, sustained high blood glucose levels over a long
period of time can cause damage to the nerve systems in the body, including
those in your feet. 1
neuropad® tests for insuffi cient sweating which is an
early sign of nerve damage, putting feet at risk of
ulceration. The pad starts off blue and should turn
completely pink after 10 minutes' application. If any blue
remains, this indicates that your feet are not producing
enough sweat (anhydrosis) - medically, this is known
as sudomotoric dysfunction. 2
