Hundreds of thousands of people are living with diabetes without realising it, an online test has revealed.
An estimated 630,000 have an undiagnosed type 2 form of the disease, which is linked to obesity, lack of exercise and poor diet, according to Diabetes UK.
One in 16 people who were interviewed after taking the charity’s online risk assessment said they were later diagnosed with the condition.
The test asks participants for details such as their age, ethnicity and weight and then calculates the person’s risk of type 2. Those identified as being at high risk are advised to see their GP.

Why illustrate it with what is clearly a stock photo of a Type 1? 🙄
