Researchers claim a new test can diagnose Type 2 diabetes years earlier by examining proteins in the blood.
This early warning could help prevent a whole range of complication such as strokes and heart attacks, blindness, kidney disease and nerve and circulatory damage. And this new blood test could be available in five years or so.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease and accounts for 90% of more than three million Britons with diabetes. Researchers from the University of Manchester and King’s College London, say that by the time blood sugar is raised, some of the damage caused by the disease in its early stages has already been inflicted.
