Men have been urged to be aware of certain diabetes 'red flag' signs that are often ignored or brushed off as not anything serious.
A leading doctor has said that men are 'burying their heads in the sand' when it comes to diabetes and not getting the help and healthcare that is needed to treat it.
New stats released by private healthcare clinic Pall Mall show that just six out of every one hundred men would even suspect they had diabetes, not making the connection to three symptoms that they may have.
