Diabetes Tech Can't Wait
campaign
Diabetes UK (DUK) has marked Diabetes Week by launching a campaign to
call for fair and equal access to diabetes tech.
A recent DUK press release noted, "Diabetes can be a relentless stream
of numbers - but with the right tech, keeping on top of them doesn't have
to feel like a battle. And that can be life-changing. But only if you have
access. We've seen progress in recent years, but we need to go further,
faster. We need to make sure people living with diabetes can access the
tech they're eligible for, no matter who they are or where they live."
The charity is inviting people to find out more - and to get involved in

Diabetes can
impact mental
health
A new study commissioned by
Dexcom has found that 84% of
people surveyed agreed that having
diabetes can negatively impact
mental health. The study also
found that nearly all those living
with diabetes (91%) believed that
technology enables them to continue
building a balanced lifestyle while
managing the condition.
Ben Byrne, Dexcom Country
Director of UK and Ireland,
comments, "As a pioneer and leader
in real-time CGM, our goal at
Dexcom is to simplify and improve
diabetes management for every
person with diabetes. Dexcom CGM
systems give people with diabetes
a full picture of glucose numbers
to help them better manage their
condition - which, in turn can
help them go about their day with
more confidence and less stress.
We're proud to not only support
the diabetes community with our
products but also educate the
broader public on diabetes and the
physical and mental effects it can
have on people who have it."
New service for over 50s
A groundbreaking personalised health system has been launched that aims
to put the over 50s in control of their wellbeing as they age. The GHS,
developed by leading UK clinicians, including doctors, psychologists, and
medical experts, and spearheaded by NHS veteran Professor Sir Muir Gray,
offers a comprehensive, multi-therapy approach to addressing age-related
conditions through active prevention and improved rehabilitation.
The Goldster Health Services, known as GHS, will include a range of
features including personalised health assessments, health tracking tools
and community support. Through quick weekly online assessments, users
can monitor their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. With the
guidance of leading experts, including physicians and psychologists, users
can regain lost abilities, reduce disease risks like dementia and stroke, and
effectively combat the effects of diseases when / before they occur.
It is a comprehensive health system derived from a SWIP (Systematic
Wellness Integrated Pathways) framework, drawing on global evidence
to create wellness mixes tailored to individuals' needs, preferences, and
goals. By supporting people through SWIP, individuals can regain lost
abilities and fitness, mitigate the risks of diseases like dementia and stroke,
and effectively combat the effects of diseases when they occur.
