SHOCKING statistics reveal an alarming number of people in St Helens with diabetes.

Diabetes UK says 17,114 people aged over 17 registered with GPs under Halton and St Helens PCT have the disease.

There has been a steep rise in people diagnosed with the condition across the north west.

The figures for St Helens are much larger than Warrington, at 9,397, and Knowsley on 8,044, and just ahead of Ashton Leigh and Wigan PCT, on 16,023.
