This is hardly "news," although the rate of diabetes seems to accelerate with every study.

Diabetes prevalence jumped from 3.3% to 3.6% or from 1,766,000 to over 1,890,000 in just one year, the government's Information Centre found.

Part of the rise might be explained by better detection of diabetes, but experts warn that more and more people are developing diabetes and that many have yet to be diagnosed.

Douglas Smallwood, chief executive of diabetes uk, said: "Up to 750,000 people have diabetes and are not aware of it.

"This means that thousands of people are going about their daily lives unaware they have a condition that reduces their life expectancy."

More proof that we need to be vigilant about our health.
