Newer weight loss agents/Incretin mimetics (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide) have literally transformed weight and obesity management. These offer wonderful support to appetite control and are very effective in weight reduction, but weight regain after stopping them is a real challenge. Long-term commitment to positive lifestyle interventions including healthy eating and regular exercise can offer great help. Regular exercise is a must for safe weight loss.

Today, Friday 29 May 2026, is Addison's Disease Day!

A day for all those affected or supporting people with primary (Addison's), secondary, or tertiary adrenal insufficiency. The theme for Addison's Disease Day 2026 is ‘Turn Awareness into Action’, a call to move beyond knowing and into doing. Because awareness alone isn't enough. It's what we do with that awareness that saves lives, supports our community and drives meaningful change.

Here's how you can take action right now:
• Sign up to the free healthcare professional newsletter, ADSHG Connection
• Provide your patients with the new SfE endorsed leaflet “Adrenal Insufficiency Action Plan”
• Run an awareness stand in your hospital to educate colleagues on the needs of steroid-dependent patients
• Support emergency hydrocortisone injection training for patients
• Signpost your patients to the new research study ‘Prevention and Management of Adrenal Crisis’

Adrenal insufficiency is frequently mistaken for other diagnoses and adrenal crisis remains a life-threatening but preventable risk. So whether you're directly affected or simply passionate about raising awareness and improving care, get involved with the Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) this !
