Doctors at Northampton General Hospital have seen a significant increase in the number of new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes in children in the last three months.
New research shows that the hospital have seen 19 new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes in the last three months, compared with a normal average of less than 30 for the whole year.
As many as one in four children and young people and one in three children under five years old are only diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when they are in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition that requires urgent medical attention.
