There are currently over 2.5 million people with diabetes in the UK and there are more than half a million people with diabetes who have the condition and don't know it.
Type 2 diabetes usually appears in people over the age of 40, however, recently, more children are being diagnosed with the condition, some as young as seven....
According to Diabetes UK, statistics show that over 80% of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are overweight.
The NHS is spending £1m an hour - 10% of its yearly budget - treating diabetes and its complications, according to the charity.

There is indeed a strong link between poverty and people suffering weight related health problems.
However prior to 1997 they were not many people using the internet or with Sky so people were more active.
Also driving costs have come down in recent years so people drive rather than walk.

"we got elected in 97, fukk we haven't managed to do anything about poverty since we got in and it could be worse. Oh Sh¦t say anything! ..... err It was Thatcher, no um disease is Tory so there.
You are laughable.
IMHO, awareness of type II diabetes is much higher and it's being screened and diagnosed much more than previously. Symptoms are pretty vague for the most part and, in the past, the typical person would shrug it off as being "under the weather" or being "a bit off colour". I know a guy who only got diagnosed because, following years of inactivity and overeating, his feet went completely numb. Only then did he go to the Doctor and get diagnosed.

Laughable.However prior to 1997 they were not many people using the internet or with Sky so people were more active.

There are more gyms now than in 1997. There is greater awareness of the health problems caused by bad diet and lack of exercise, due to the internet and television. It is purely the choice of the indolent Labour-voting or non-voting lumps to eat crap and take no exercise. Just look at their reaction to attempts to improve school meals.
In this country virtually nobody now drives a journey they would have walked in 1997.

Professor Alan Maryon-Davis, president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, said: "Early detection and treatment are crucial. We must do whatever we can to find the half-million people who don't know they've got it." Rates of obesity and diabetes will continue to rise unless we do something urgently
What a load of f*cking w*nk!
I'm a jobbing, proper blood and guts (well hopefully not too many guts in my specialty!) consultant surgeon in the NHS.
The above is the typical rhetoric of "More Earnest Than Thou" Public Health-ists (read: I couldn't actually f*cking cut it as a proper doctor treating real people so instead I found a niche where I could pretend that I was making a difference for the greater good..then I wrote a load of half-arsed papers which got published in some obscure half-arsed Public Health Journal and then suddenly I found myself a "Professor of Public Health"...so I better make some er...erm..."Profess-ations"!!!)
The shocking thing is that people can get away with telling you 10% of your NHS Tax Pounds are being spent of diabetes and its consequences...and then collecting a salary for it! LOL!
"Oh what a fking surprise!"
Look...I'll tell you something for nothing (and maybe even the Government if they want to make me a Professor of Public Health and pay me! In fact, may be some decent fellows here will nominate me as such as and as a clear-thinking oasis of rationality in a desert of feather ear-ring wearing, lard-arsed Public Health-ists):
We're all human...not that far removed from dogs. You put enough easy food in front of dogs/us without much to stop dogs/us/chavs eating it and we're gonna eat it. Y
ou put enough FREE food in front of a load of Chavs...and they'll eat it, get obese and become diabetic.What a surprise!
There ya go...10% of your NHS budget explained in a sentence...Now where's my Professorship salary, please?!?
FFS!...This is fking human nature.
I spend most of my time treating head and neck cancer. I know what flipping causes it. And even I only stopped smoking 6 months ago and I've had a bottle of wine tonight! What flipping chance do these More-Earnest-Than-Thou idiot Public Health-ists think they have with your average Chav? Change their behaviour? bks!
Actually...that's the whole point though isn't it? Deep down they really know they're not going to make a blind bit of difference to anyone except themselves...and that's by carving a little niche for themselves, influencing government policy and then wasting even more of your £NHS over and above the already pointless salaries that you're already under-writing.
