Diabetes levels a ticking 'time bomb' - doctors
A HEALTHCARE time bomb is set to explode after revelations that one in every 20 residents of Ealing is likely to have diabetes, and that 10 per cent of them are unaware of their condition. The figures represent 20,800 who are likely to have the life-threatening condition - in which a patient's blood glucose is too high - and 3,300 of them have yet to be diagnosed, according to the Diabetes Health Intelligence. Diabetes UK mentioned.

'Pear-shaped' genes uncovered
The parts of our DNA which may influence body shape, including the classic "apple" or "pear" shape in women, have been revealed. A UK study in Nature Genetics found the locations of 13 genes which may play a role, with a stronger effect in women. Where body fat lies may affect diabetes and heart disease risk, so the results could shed light on those diseases.

Deaf people 'can rewire brains'
People deaf from birth may be able to reassign the area of their brain used for hearing to boost their sight, suggests a study. Improved peripheral vision, often reported by deaf people, could be generated by the brain area which would normally deal with peripheral hearing.

Salt and fat content 'too high' in child hospital meals
There is too much salt and fat in the food served to children in hospital, a survey suggests.
