"Some NHS patients have been wrongly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after blood tests provided inaccurate results. At least 55,000 blood tests must be re-run following errors by machines used to test for the disease. The inaccurate results were made by machines made by US and Ireland-based company Trinity Biotech, and as a result of the misdiagnoses some patients have also been prescribed medicines they do not need."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground journalism across topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and solicits donations to fund reporters and avoid paywalls. The outlet states that donations enable sending journalists to speak to both sides and that quality journalism should be publicly accessible and supported by those who can afford it. Separately, some NHS patients received inaccurate blood glucose results and may have been wrongly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. At least 55,000 blood tests require re-running due to errors from Trinity Biotech machines, and affected patients will be contacted for repeat testing by GPs or local hospitals.
