The UK charity, Diabetes Care, has warned that diabetics are not getting the care they need in the UK. The charity claims that service levels have now reached crisis state. The warning comes in the charity’s State of the Nation 2012 report and says that less than 50% of patients are getting the basic care recommended by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence and that in some areas this drops to 6%.
