ONE IN three Irish people has a family member with diabetes, according to new research.

The figures have been described as a ?national crisis? by Prof S?amus Sreenan, consultant endocrinologist and medical director of the Diabetes Federation of Ireland.

?We have been saying it for years, but these figures really bring the message home ? diabetes is everywhere in Ireland,? he said.
