Abstract
More than 4.3 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes and there are thought to be a further 850 000 people living with diabetes who have not yet been diagnosed (Diabetes UK, 2024). Around half of all adults who have diabetes experience bladder dysfunction. It is one of the most common complications of diabetes, yet there is little in the medical literature and it is often unrecognised and poorly treated (Wittig et al, 2019). This article uses a case history approach to examine how diabetes can affect the bladder.
