Dr Amir Khan appeared on Lorraine earlier this week to break down the two main types of diabetes, the symptoms you want to look out for, and his top five tips for preventing and managing them.
It was a shock when, earlier this week, new research from Diabetes UK showed that one in five adults in the UK are now living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. That means a total of 4.6 million people are now diagnosed with diabetes in the UK, while a further 6.3 million struggle with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, which is also known as pre-diabetes. And with the charity predicting that a further 1.3 million people are still undiagnosed, the stats are the highest ever recorded.
