" A new survey has highlighted the need for psychological support for people with type-1 diabetes. The disease develops when the body is unable to produce insulin and is the least common of the two main types of diabetes, accounting for between five and 15 per cent of people with diabetes. Research by experts at the University of Western Australia and Fremantle Hospital looked at 92 young adults with type-1 diabetes. They found that over a third (35 per cent) of participants reported symptoms of depression, and those with depressive symptoms tended to have poorer glycaemic control. The charity Diabetes UK has expressed &amp;#039;deep concern&amp;#039; about the findings. Simon O&amp;#039;Neill, director of care, information and advocacy services at Diabetes UK, said: &amp;#039;Young people with type-1 diabetes need to feel that they are receiving the right support and advice when it comes to managing their condition to help reduce their levels of psychological distress.&amp;#039; \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
