🧠 Chronic pain and headaches can be a significant part of life for some people with pituitary conditions. Pain may vary from day to day and can affect concentration, everyday activities and the ability to take part in things that were previously enjoyed. The impact can be both physical and emotional. The Pituitary Foundation’s ‘Symptoms in the Spotlight’ campaign highlights approaches that may help people manage chronic pain, including pacing activities, recording symptoms and asking for support when tasks become difficult. Understanding how pain affects an individual can also help healthcare professionals consider appropriate support, further assessment and treatment options.

🥗 Can early lifestyle intervention reduce the long-term burden of chronic disease? A 21-year follow-up of the Diabetes Prevention Program suggests that adults with prediabetes who received an intensive lifestyle intervention were less likely to develop multimorbidity than those receiving placebo. These findings highlight the potential long-term value of lifestyle intervention—not only for delaying type 2 diabetes, but also for reducing the accumulation of chronic conditions over time.

🧠 Could an endocrine disorder be the underlying cause of peripheral neuropathy? While diabetic neuropathy is well recognized, endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, acromegaly, adrenal dysfunction, and vitamin B12 or D deficiencies are often overlooked despite being potentially reversible causes. This new review provides a practical, evidence-based diagnostic algorithm to support earlier recognition, improve diagnostic accuracy, and help reduce the risk of irreversible nerve damage. 📖 Read the full article: touchendocrinology.com/gener… #Endocrinology #Neurology #PeripheralNeuropathy #ClinicalPractice #MedicalEducation

🆕 How can an integrated approach to cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome improve long-term outcomes? A new review in touchREVIEWS in Endocrinology explores the potential role of combining GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) to address interconnected cardiovascular, renal and metabolic health. The authors discuss the importance of early, multidisciplinary intervention, tailored treatment strategies and management of modifiable risk factors to support a more holistic approach to CKM syndrome. 🔎 Read the full review: touchendocrinology.com/gener… #CardiovascularHealth #KidneyHealth #Endocrinology #Diabetes #MedicalEducation

🆕 How can clinicians balance the benefits of weight management with potential behavioural risks in youth-onset type 2 diabetes? A new review in touchREVIEWS in Endocrinology explores the prevalence of disordered eating behaviours and eating disorders among young people with type 2 diabetes, alongside the potential psychological and behavioural implications of GLP-1 receptor agonist use. The authors discuss strategies to help clinicians identify and support young people experiencing disordered eating, highlighting key areas for future research to inform more personalised care. 🔎 Read the full review: touchendocrinology.com/diabe… #Type2Diabetes #Endocrinology #ObesityManagement #EatingDisorders #MedicalEducation

This World Menopause Day, we are proud to support the @IntlMenopause campaign on chronic pain at midlife. 💜 Did you know that almost 3 in 4 women experience joint or muscle pain during perimenopause? Women are also up to 70% more likely than men to experience chronic pain. The IMS factsheet explores the different types of pain that can occur during midlife, including joint and muscle pain, migraine, pelvic pain and widespread pain and fatigue. It also looks at how sleep, stress and changing hormone levels can influence pain, alongside approaches that may help.

This World Menopause Day, we are proud to support the @IntlMenopause campaign, focusing this year on chronic pain at midlife. 💜 Chronic pain affects a significant proportion of women during and after the menopause transition, yet it remains underestimated in research and care. Joint and muscle pain, migraine, pelvic pain and widespread pain can all become more noticeable during midlife. Changes in hormone levels, alongside factors such as poor sleep, stress and other menopause symptoms, can influence how pain is experienced. The 2026 campaign highlights the importance of recognising chronic pain as part of menopause care and taking a gender-sensitive, individualised and multidisciplinary approach.

🧠 Living with a pituitary condition can have an emotional impact that extends beyond physical symptoms. Changes in energy levels, appearance, pain and day-to-day functioning can affect confidence, relationships and social interactions. These experiences can be difficult to manage and may not always be visible to others. The Pituitary Foundation’s ‘Symptoms in the Spotlight’ campaign is highlighting the emotional impact of pituitary conditions and the importance of recognising these experiences as part of holistic care. Understanding the psychological impact of symptoms can help support conversations between patients and their healthcare teams and ensure that emotional wellbeing is considered alongside physical health.

📢 Obesity, diabetes, and kidney stones: are the links stronger than we think? We’re pleased to share a new review exploring the growing connection between obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and kidney stone disease. Once considered separate conditions, emerging evidence highlights a shared pathophysiology - driven by insulin resistance and chronic low-grade inflammation - that may increase the risk of stone formation. The review also raises key questions around whether weight loss and modern diabetes therapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, may influence kidney stone risk. 🔗 Read the article: touchendocrinology.com/diabe… #Endocrinology #MetabolicSyndrome #Diabetes #KidneyStones #Obesity

🧠 Fatigue, low energy and brain fog can be more than simply feeling tired. For people living with pituitary conditions, fatigue can persist even after rest and may affect concentration, sleep, daily activities and overall quality of life. The Pituitary Foundation’s ‘Symptoms in the Spotlight’ campaign highlights practical approaches that may help people manage fatigue, including pacing activities, prioritising tasks, taking regular rest and maintaining healthy routines. If fatigue or sleep problems are affecting daily life, speaking with a GP or endocrinologist can help identify appropriate support and treatment options.
