The Group One-winning racehorse trainer Eric Alston is to call time on his glittering career at the end of the season, he has revealed.

He is perhaps best known for his association with Reverence, however, with whom he won two Group One prizes in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York and the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park in2006.

Numbers of horses in training at the veteran’s yard had been slowly shrinking over the last few years and he revealed that being able to spend more time with Sue, his wife of more than 50 years, was a big factor in his decision. Speaking at Haydock Park last week, where he had two runners on the card, he said: “It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while because of my wife Sue, who’s not very well. I had to go sometime!"We’ll go on until the end of November and I think we’ll call it a day then."I remember having a treble at Hamilton on the day of our 50th wedding anniversary.“Reverence was a fantastic horse and so was Tedburrow, who’s still with me at home.

The increased prevalence of depression and anxiety in T2DM patients associated with blood glucose fluctuation and sleep quality - BMC Endocrine DisordersBackground Current evidence demonstrates that blood glucose fluctuation can be associated with depression and anxiety. The association among blood glucose fluctuation, traditional risk factors and emotional disorders in T2DM should be studied and clarified. Methods A total of 182 diabetic patients including 81 patients with depression or anxiety and 101 patients without emotional disorder were enrolled into this study. Data were obtained through medical history and questionnaire survey. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results The comparison results of basic information between the two groups showed that the differences of the proportion of female were statistically significant (p = 0.002). There was no statistical difference in laboratory examination indexes between the two groups, however, standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG) and postprandial glucose excursion (PPGE) of the comorbidity group were significantly higher than that of control group (p = 0.032 and p = 0.037). The results of questionnaire survey showed that there were statistically significant differences in sleep quality, PSQI and dietary habit between the two groups (p | 0.001, p | 0.001 and p | 0.001). Stratified analysis results according to gender showed that the percentage of cognitive disorder, anxiety and depression in female group was significantly higher than that in male group (p = 0.001, p | 0.001 and p | 0.001). Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) score in female group were also higher than male group (p = 0.001, p | 0.001 and p | 0.001). Logistic regression analysis results showed that SDBG and sleep quality were associated with emotional disorders in T2DM (p = 0.040 and p | 0.001) and the OR values of these factors were 7.588 (1.097–52.069) and 4.428 (2.649–7.401). Conclusions Blood glucose fluctuation and sleep quality are associated with the increased prevalence of depression and anx
