THERE will be a 15per cent rise in the number of people living with diabetes in East Lancashire by 2020, according to experts.
Diabetes UK said those with the Type 2 condition will jump from 35,200 to 41,500 in less than eight years, because of the area?s high levels of obesity, and more susceptible south east Asian population.
One sufferer, who has spent two out of the last five years with his legs in a cast because of a diabetes-related condition, has urged people to go to their doctors ?at the first suspicion?.
