Hospital chiefs are highlighting the dangers of undiagnosed diabetes as part of a drive to raise awareness of the condition.
Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has issued advice as part of Diabetes Awareness Week on June 9-15.
Across Wakefield and North Kirklees districts around 1,000 people are diagnosed with diabetes every year, as of October last year there were 17,753 people in the Wakefield district with diabetes.

Dr Nagi needs to get his facts straight. Around 850,000 people are thought to have undiagnosed diabetes in the UK, and Type 2 is NOT always preventable 😡
