Diabetes reaches 'epidemic' proportions
The number of people suffering from diabetes in the UK has shot up, fuelled by an increase in obesity levels, experts have said.
According to figures released by Diabetes UK, more than 167,000 new cases were diagnosed between April 2007 and March 2008, while at the same time, the number of people registered as obese increased by 200,000.
People who are obese are around ten times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, which develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly.
It can cause a number of other health problems, including high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney damage and ulceration of the feet.
Douglas Smallwood, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said the figures are alarming.
"There is no getting away from the fact that this large increase is linked to the obesity crisis," he commented.
Mr Smallwood added that awareness should be raised of the seriousness of diabetes and that people should be educated on how a healthy lifestyle and weight loss could reduce its prevalence.
