HIGH diabetes rates are a ?ticking time bomb? in Ealing, according to nurses? leaders.
The Royal College of Nursing has warned diabetes cases in the borough are set to rise by 50 per cent by 2030, yet public education programmes aimed at preventing the disease could be jeopardised by a decline in district and specialist nurses.
The warning comes as the London Assembly Health Committee this week started a major review of diabetes services in the capital.
An estimated 22,243 people in Ealing are living with condition, and research suggests this will jump to 33,270 by 2030.
