Close to 4.9 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes, with a further 850,000 people suspected to be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. To add on to this, 13.6 million people in the UK are considered to be at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, meaning that currently, 28.8% of the population either has or is at a higher risk of having some form of diabetes.
From a study conducted this year, diabetes was the second most common chronic condition in the UK, with 7.1% of participants citing that they had been diagnosed with some form of diabetes, with chronic kidney disease being the only condition cited more (7.2%).

So knowing the statistics, and knowing how prevalent diabetes is in our country is, we should take a look at it. What exactly is diabetes? How can we stop that figure from increasing? And what actions can you take to reduce the impact of the symptoms of one of the nation’s most common chronic conditions?
