About a million people with diabetes are at an increased risk of stroke, blindness, amputation and heart attacks because they are not getting all the medical checks they should, an NHS audit has found.
Little more than half of diabetes patients in England (54 per cent) are receiving all nine checks, which include assessing blood pressure, blood sugar and the state of their feet. In Wales the figure is 60 per cent.
