Study: Diabetics worry about disruption to insulin supplies owing to Brexit outcome
Diabetics living in the UK worry about disruption to insulin supplies as a result of Brexit, new research shows.
Insulin is the hormone that helps control the body s blood sugar level and is critical to the survival of many people living with Type 1 diabetes. Currently most insulin used in the UK is imported.
The research - by the University of York - analyzed 4,000 social media posts from the UK and the States in order to explore the experiences of living as an insulin-dependent person. Around 25 per cent of the posts relating to health were made by diabetics and about nine percent of all the posts were about availability of insulin.
The Central Texas College Department of Health Sciences announced its nursing students will join forces with students from other area nursing programs to help staff local COVID-19 vaccination teams.
CTC nursing students will start assisting the Texas Emergency Management Systemâs efforts in administering the COVID-19 vaccine from Feb. 2 through April 27 at the Killeen vaccination site â the Rosa Hereford Killeen Community Center, 2201 E. Veterans Memorial Blvd.
Students will contribute in all three main phases of the operations â patient intake, vaccine administration and patient observation.
CTC along with nursing students from Temple College, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and Texas A&M University-Central Texas are joining together upon the request of David Shaw, a district coordinator for the Texas Division Emergency Management in Killeen, according to a CTC news release.
