Despite long-term evidence of the benefits of integrated diabetes and mental health services and care, the disconnect continues. The new HSSIB investigation (Feb 2026) shows that, in practice, adults with insulin-treated diabetes who are known to community mental health services are not always under specialist diabetes care when they should be, are sometimes discharged after “did not attend” without adequate consideration of risk.
People with diabetes are not getting enough psychological and mental health support, and people with mental health problems and co-occurring diabetes are not getting adequate assessment, care, education and treatment. There remains variable integration and information-sharing between mental health and specialist diabetes services – despite recognition of the safety risks.
The result is a preventable gap where psychological need and physical risk collide, and people can come to serious harm because care isn’t joined up and personalised around them.
