[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2261719, member: 450212"] Do remember though, it groups together all T1's, T2's T3's, any diabetics with other health conditions (which may have had a bigger effect on the person), any age, and any diabetic control so although it is a highish number the number doesn't really say anything that can properly quantified - '26% (of the 90% with health conditions) were diabetic' is too vague - though anything that was properly quantifiable may be too detailed for many and wouldn't make for such a stark headline. Edit: also what percentage of people with medical conditions that are deemed more at risk have diabetes - that's something else that needs to be taken into consideration. [/QUOTE]
