People who are overweight or obese tend to be at a higher risk of diabetes, the NHS says, as do people of Asian, Black African or African Caribbean origin - with Diabetes UK estimating 850,000 people in the UK could have the disease without knowing.
The number of people with diabetes in the UK has reached five million for the first time ever, a health charity has said.
Diabetes UK is urging the government to make the condition"central" to its upcoming major conditions strategy, in an effort to prevent new cases and support people at high risk. Some 90% of those who have diabetes, suffer with type 2, which is often associated with individuals being overweight or inactive.
