Brighton and Hove are facing a ticking diabetes time bomb with cases soaring by more than 70% in the next 16 years.
The number of people diagnosed with the condition in the city is on the rise and experts say numbers could reach 17,842 by 2030.
Latest figures from Diabetes UK reveal there are currently 10,309 diabetics in the city, although the actual number is higher as more than 5,000 are believed to be undiagnosed.

I expect every local newspaper will be carrying a similar story over the next few days...
