Diabetes UK, one of the leading UK diabetes charities, recently warned the UK government that diabetes is very quickly running out of control. Official data suggest that 3 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes and a further 850,000 are potentially living a life under the cloud of diabetes without knowing it.These are damning figures by themselves although the fact that by 2025 it is estimated that 5 million people in the UK will have diabetes is even more concerning.
Of the 3 million people diagnosed with diabetes in the UK around 90% are suffering from type II diabetes which is in the eyes of many people seen as a "lifestyle condition". This lifestyle condition revolves around diet, exercise and general way of life and is putting hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, at risk of diabetes in years to come. Estimates suggest that an additional 7 million people are deemed at "high risk" of developing diabetes in the UK which would put massive stress upon the UK healthcare system.
