    422 milllion diabetics worldwide

    1980: 108 million diabetics
    2035: 600 million diabetics

    It is estimated that another 193 million  people have undiagnosed diabetes

    10% Type 1 Diabetes

    In Type 1 Diabetes the body incorrectly identifies the useful cells in pancreas which produce insulin as a an attacking organism. They are killed off by specific antibodies created by the body’s immune system rendering the person incapable of regulating the amount of glucose in the blood.

    90% Type 2 Diabetes

    In simple terms the pancreas is an engine which makes insulin. Insulin is a key, it unlocks cells and lets in sugar. The more fat around the cells, the more insulin you need. The more sugar in the blood the more insulin you need. The more insulin you need the harder the pancreas has to work. You push the engine too hard it starts to under perform. That's Type 2 diabetes.

    The fat person's disease

    10% of Type 2 Diabetics are not overweight

    Diabetes is chronic, incurable and degenrative

    50% of Type 2 Diabetics suffer acute or chronic pain or depression levels similar to people with terminal cancer

    Diabetes costs the NHS over £10bn per year

    Diabetes demands three times more from the NHS than all forms of cancer combined. One in six hospitals beds is occupied by a diabetic.
