A number of common diabetes symptoms can appear on your skin, including dry and cracked skin as well as other issues.
Throughout the UK around 4.5m people are believed to be affected by the condition, but out of that figure around half a million people are believed to have the disease without knowing, which can lead to some serious health complications, particularly for those with type 2 diabetes.
The figures were issued by the Diabetes and Wellness Foundation, which also said that nine in every 10 people with diabetes have type 2, which in many cases can be prevented. Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease or stroke, according to the NHS.
