'This trend of rapidly-increasing early-onset type 2 diabetes is incredibly troubling. It marks a shift from what we’ve seen historically and should be taken as a serious warning to policymakers and our NHS.'
Adults living in the most deprived area of Lancashire are more likely to be obese than people from almost anywhere else in the country - as diabetes soars among the under-40s.
Blackpool also has an obesity problem among children. As of March 2020 - a year earlier than when adults were last measured - 28.6% of Year 6 children, all aged either 10 or 11, were classed as obese. That compares to 12.4% of Year 6 children in Ribble Valley, the lowest proportion in Lancashire. But that increase is also likely to be driven by a growing proportion of obese and overweight children becoming adults. It comes as analysis by Diabetes UK shows an “incredibly troubling” rise in the number of people aged under 40 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which is outstripping the pace of diagnoses in the over 40s.
Chris Askew OBE, chief executive at Diabetes UK, said: “This trend of rapidly-increasing early-onset type 2 diabetes is incredibly troubling. It marks a shift from what we’ve seen historically and should be taken as a serious warning to policymakers and our NHS. If you’re under 40, you’re not immune to type 2 diabetes.
