" It is inevitable that everyone delivering health care will encounter someone with diabetes in their day to day work. It affects nearly 1 in 10 adults, 1 in 6 of those over the age of 65 years and 1 in 5 inpatients.
In the majority of cases, diabetes is a co-morbidity. However, if not appropriately managed, it could result in acute life-threatening complications of Hypoglycaemia, Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State. There is also a high risk of life-threatening limb and foot disease. Although diabetes management can be complex, there are some very basic yet important aspects of care that every health care professional should be aware of which, if applied, will prevent these acute complications. The Diabetes 10 Point Training Programme presents these in a straightforward and engaging way. If all health care professionals were to deliver these basic principles of diabetes care to their patients with diabetes, a lot of suffering and mortality could be prevented".
The Diabetes 10 Point Training was developed by Ruth Miller, Diabetes Nurse Consultant and the content is owned by NHS North West London CCG.

Diabetes (otherwise known by the scientific name diabetes mellitus) is a complicated condition and there are many different types of diabetes. Here we'll take you through everything you need to know.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose level is too high. It can happen when your body doesn't produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces isn't effective. Or, when your body can't produce any insulin at all.

Types of diabetes

There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.

When you've got type 1 diabetes, you can't make any insulin at all. If you've got type 2 diabetes, which is the most common, it's a bit different. The insulin you make either can't work effectively, or you can't produce enough of it. They're different conditions, but they're both serious.

There are lots of other types of diabetes. They include gestational diabetes, which some women may go on to develop during pregnancy, type 3c, MODY and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA).

In all types of diabetes, glucose can't get into your cells properly, so it begins to build up in your blood. And too much glucose in your blood causes a lot of different problems. To begin with, it may lead to diabetes symptoms.

What causes diabetes?

The causes of diabetes depend on the type of diabetes you have.

What all types of diabetes have in common is that they cause people to have too much glucose (sugar) in their blood. But we all need some glucose. It's what gives us energy. We get glucose when our bodies break down the carbohydrates that we eat or drink. And that glucose is released into our blood.

We also need a hormone called insulin. It's made by our pancreas, and it's insulin that allows the glucose in our blood to enter our cells and fuel our bodies.

If you don't have diabetes, your pancreas senses when glucose has entered your bloodstream and releases the right amount of insulin, so the glucose can get into your cells. But if you have diabetes, this system doesn't work.

Symptoms of diabetes

The symptoms can depend on the type of diabetes you have. But the common symptoms of diabetes include:

Going to the toilet a lot, especially at night

Being really thirsty

Feeling more tired than usual

Losing weight without trying to

Genital itching or thrush

Cuts and wounds take longer to heal

Blurred vision

We've got more information about the signs and symptoms of diabetes, as well as advice about what to do if you have some.

4.3 million people are living with a diagnosis of diabetes in the UK

How is diabetes diagnosed?

Diabetes is diagnosed from a blood test. If there are no obvious symptoms it can go undiagnosed.

Early diagnosis helps prevent diabetes complications.

Treatment for diabetes

Treatment is about trying to keep blood sugars within a target range. Being as active as possible, eating healthily and going for regular health checks will help you do this. Some people will also need to take insulin or other medication and check their blood sugars regularly.

Lots of things can affect blood sugars, so it can be tricky to balance. But it's possible to lead a full life. It's about being in tune with your body and learning what works for you.

Managing your diabetes

Getting used to life with diabetes can be difficult, but we've got lots of information to help you learn how to manage your condition effectively.

From advice about what to eat, to emotional support and guidance about driving, we're here to help you live well with diabetes. Find out more about managing your diabetes today.

Diabetes complications

Over a long period of time, high glucose levels in your blood can cause problems in almost every part of your body from your brain to your feet and can seriously damage your heart, your eyes, your feet and your kidneys. These are known as the complications of diabetes.

But with the right treatment and care, people can live a healthy life. And there's much less risk that someone will experience these complications.

Find out more about the different types of complications, and what you can do to reduce your risk of developing them.

Diabetes-related conditions

Having some conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, can mean you are more at risk of developing diabetes. And there are other conditions linked to diabetes that you should be aware of.

We've got more information about these related conditions.

Prediabetes

Some people may have a blood sugar level that is higher than usual, but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This is called prediabetes, and means you're at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Find out more about prediabetes, and the things you can do to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes remission

Some people with type 2 diabetes are able to put their diabetes into remission. This means your blood sugar levels are healthy without taking any medication.

For many people, this can be life-changing. That's why we've put together guidance and advice for those of you who want to know more about diabetes remission.

Diabetes research

We've funded world-class research into diabetes for over 80 years, so that our scientists can continue to find pioneering ways to improve the lives of millions living with the condition.

We've got more information about our diabetes research, including more about our approach and the latest projects we are currently funding.

Diabetes: the essentials for non-specialists

Diabetes: the essentials for non-specialists

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"It's probably one of the areas of nursing that's changed most rapidly in the last 10 years," says Lead Inpatient Diabetes Specialist Nurse Paula Johnston. "The number of patients with diabetes is increasing, but the number of treatments now available, technology particularly, has really skyrocketed. It's quite exciting now that we've got a lot of options, we can individualise care."

Paula qualified as a nurse in 2001 and spent time on a diabetes and endocrine ward, after working there as a student. A few years later, she was encouraged to apply for a secondment in the diabetes team. "I thought it would be a new challenge. That was 12 years ago and I'm now the lead nurse in our inpatient diabetes team."

In April 2023, Diabetes UK reported that the number of people living with diabetes in the UK exceeded five million for the first time. Meanwhile, another 2.4 million people are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Nursing staff in all sorts of settings - A&E, maternity wards, care homes, general practice - will encounter patients who have the condition. Already, one in six hospital beds are occupied by a person who has diabetes, so it's crucial that nursing staff understand the condition.

"Within the next 10 years, that's predicted to be one in three inpatients," says Paula. "Nowadays, there's no excuse for people in all health care roles not to have an awareness of diabetes. No matter which area you work in, I would suspect you're going to come across a patient every day who has diabetes."

Defining diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term condition. People with diabetes experience high levels of glucose in their blood because their body is unable to process glucose properly. This could be because their pancreas doesn't produce any or enough insulin (insulin deficiency), or because the insulin they're producing doesn't work properly (insulin resistance).

There are different types of diabetes:

In type 1, the person is no longer able to produce any insulin and must inject it for the rest of their life. If a person with type 1 diabetes does not have access to their insulin, this can be a life-threatening emergency.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, and involves insulin deficiency or resistance. It can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes and regular monitoring, but some patients need oral glucose therapies and/or insulin injections.

Rarer types of diabetes include gestational diabetes, which develops during pregnancy, and type 3c diabetes, which develops when the pancreas has been damaged.

Above: Nursing staff in many settings, including maternity care and in community settings, will encounter patients who have diabetes.

The main thing staff need to be aware of is the difference between the types of diabetes, says Paula. "Knowing which type of diabetes someone has influences how you're going to manage them, particularly with making sure that people don't miss their insulin doses. That can be catastrophic for someone with type one diabetes, but it may cause someone with type two diabetes to experience high blood glucose levels for a few hours."

Understanding diabetes medications and when they should be administered is crucial too. "I spend a lot of time speaking with nursing staff where people have had their insulin or medications given late and it's caused them to go hypoglycaemic. That's from not understanding the medication and why it needs to be given at that certain time."

What is hypoglycaemia?

Hypoglycaemia occurs when blood glucose levels is below 4mmol/l. A hypoglycaemia episode can happen quickly therefore it is important to understand the signs and symptoms and treat hypoglycaemia correctly. The most common symptoms are sweating, feeling shaky, being anxious or irritable, feeling disorientated, blurred vision, headache, palpitation and fast pulse rate. Patients can be treated with glucose tablets or gels, or a glucagon injection, especially in more severe cases where the patient has lost consciousness. This should be followed by a slow-release carbohydrate snack.

With advances in diabetes care, there are now more medications than ever, so it's important that nursing staff stay up to date. There have also been huge advances in the technologies that help patients manage their condition. Paula says that nursing staff are most likely to come across insulin pumps and glucose sensors. "Patients that use technology quite often are experts in this," Paula says. "If someone has an insulin pump, for instance, have a chat with them, because the patient knows how to use it."

There's also growing awareness about the impact of language. "People still get referred to as 'poorly controlled' or 'that diabetic patient'," Paula says. "We're really trying to stamp that out, and those negative connotations. It's a long-term condition and we're trying to encourage staff and patients to be more positive. I would encourage people to read the NHS England Language Matters document."

Paula says she and her team are now seeing the impact of the pandemic on patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes: "We're definitely seeing people who may not have seen their health care teams for a number of years now - people haven't had regular reviews or screening."

Above: Nursing staff can help spot signs of diabetes and suggest lifestyle changes.

Nursing staff can play a role in spotting diabetes in their patients. "If they're feeling more thirsty than normal, their clothes are feeling looser, or over the last few months they've been getting up to go to the toilet a lot every night, they should go to their GP and get checked out," Paula advises. "If someone is maybe overweight, sedentary or has a strong family history of diabetes, it's very important that we mention the increased risk of developing type two diabetes."

Diabetes facts

Diabetes affects around 4.7 million people in the UK - one in every 15 people.

An estimated one million people are unaware that they have diabetes.

Around one in six hospital beds are occupied by a person living with diabetes.

Around 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, 8% have type 1 diabetes and 2% have rarer types of diabetes.

Find out more in the RCN resource Diabetes Essentials.

The RCN Diabetes Forum brings together diabetes specialists from many different settings: inpatient, community, care homes, research. Paula is a member of the forum committee and helped create Diabetes Essentials, a resource for all nursing staff who want to learn more about the long-term condition. "The aim was to bring together important information that we feel all health care professionals should be aware of. We created it for the non-specialists, the people who are going to be encountering patients with diabetes on a day-to-day basis - practice nurses, district nurses, community nurses - but diabetes is not their sole job."

The resource contains information about the different types of diabetes, medications, insulin regimes and more. "If people have a bit more understanding of what their patients are taking, they'll be able to help them work out if things need adjusting," Paula says. "And there's information about diet and lifestyle that they can pass on to their patients as part of their consultations."

Becoming a diabetes specialist has allowed Paula to work with patients of all ages and in many different settings. "It touches all different areas of nursing," Paula says. "In the past, diabetes was a life-limiting condition. That's no longer the case."
