It is a sad but common fact that often people with chronic diseases can experience incontinence and Diabetes is one condition that can cause or worsen incontinence problems.

The physical reason behind this is mainly due to nerve damage where the signals sent to the brain to control or empty the bladder and bowel are not working efficiently.

Obesity is a key risk factor for Type II Diabetes and it is important to manage early signs of incontinence before the symptoms and severity increase.

Here at Fico Centre, we arrange appointments for out-patient treatments of Secca Therapy. This is a minimally invasive procedure, offered as a day case with surgeons across the UK. Please call us to discuss in further detail 0844 561 6606.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when not enough insulin is produced by the body for it to function properly, or when the body’s cells do not react to insulin. It is far more common than type 1 diabetes, and around 90% of all adults in the UK with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes, you can usually control your symptoms by simply eating a healthy diet and monitoring your blood glucose level. However, as type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition, you may eventually need to take insulin medication.

Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity. Obesity-related diabetes is sometimes referred to as maturity-onset diabetes because it is more common in older people.

Diabetics often suffer from Faecal Incontinence and here at Fico Centre we will point you in the right direction for Secca Therapy, a new, NICE approved out–patient treatment. Call us now or look at our website for further information here.
