Tackling diabetes is “fundamental” to the future of NHS as the number of adults with the condition nears four million, Public Health England has warned. Around 3.8 million adults in England now have diabetes, with at least 940,000 of those undiagnosed, new figures have revealed. About 90 per cent of the cases are Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to being overweight and obese and therefore largely preventable, PHE, who released the data, said. The other 10 per cent are Type 1, which usually develops in childhood and is often inherited.
