Almost six people a day are being diagnosed with diabetes across Sussex with a rising number of new cases linked to a growing obesity problem.
More than 2,100 Sussex residents discovered they were diabetic in the last year, according to research by Diabetes UK.
The new figures mean that more than one in 14 of the county's population now have the condition.
The charity says most new patients have Type 2 diabetes which is linked to risk factors such as being overweight, having a large waist, being over 40 or having a close family member with diabetes.
