one of the countries with the highest number of people with
diabetes, together with Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
In 2010/11 in England, there were 2,455,937 people aged 17 years and
older diagnosed with diabetes. There could be a further 710,000 adults
who have not yet been diagnosed with the condition. The total number of
adults with diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed) is estimated to
