Just got this slice of wisdom from the dailymail (i'm bored in work).
"
Diabetes costs the NHS almost £9billion a year and one in six hospital beds at any one time are occupied by someone with the condition.
The number of patients diagnosed has increased by 60 per cent in a decade due to rising levels of obesity, which greatly increases the risk.
The illness can be prevented and even reversed – after patients have been diagnosed – through basic lifestyle changes which lower the blood sugar."
