Diabetes 'undiagnosed in half a million'
Diabetes remain undiagnosed in half a million people, according to Diabetes UK. The charity's latest research suggests that people are failing to recognise symptoms of the condition. Diabetes UK surveyed people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year and found that over half (56%) did not suspect that they could have the condition. Most were diagnosed with diabetes by accident while undergoing routine medical tests or while being treated for other conditions or medical issues. Only 16% of people were diagnosed after they proactively asked for a diabetes test.

Eating during labour 'safe for most women'
Women should be allowed to eat and drink as they want during labour, experts have concluded. There is no evidence that eating in the hours leading up to the birth causes harm to them or their baby, researchers believe. In the past women have been discouraged from eating during labour. Doctors were worried that there could be complications if the expectant mothers went on to require surgery.
