Menopause affects every woman differently, with symptoms ranging from hot flushes to mood changes and sleep issues.

Personalised support is key.

The symptoms of menopause are varied and can affect women in different ways. The most important thing is you don’t have to live in discomfort or pain.

The best way to find a treatment that is suitable for you is to speak to a doctor. Our doctors are experienced GPs with specific training in perimenopause and menopause management through the Jean Hailes treatment program.

What is diabetes?

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

Common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, hunger, frequent urination, fatigue, unexplained weight loss (for type 1 diabetes), slow-healing cuts, itchy skin or infections, and blurred vision. Type 1 diabetes symptoms usually appear suddenly, while many people with type 2 diabetes may not exhibit noticeable symptoms for a long time.

The causes of diabetes depend on the type of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes: It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The exact cause is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors are believed to contribute. Type 2 diabetes: It develops gradually over time when the body becomes less responsive to insulin. Factors such as family history, low physical activity, poor diet, obesity, and high blood pressure increase the risk. Gestational diabetes: During pregnancy, hormonal changes can reduce the effectiveness of insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.

When should I see my doctor?

If you experience symptoms of diabetes or have concerns about your risk, it is important to speak to a doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

Diabetes is a condition characterised by high levels of sugar in the blood. It occurs when the body has difficulty converting glucose into energy due to insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or insulin resistance.
