A massive recruitment drive is underway to match up thousands of diabetes patients with research projects aimed at finding a cure for the disease.

The scheme is being likened to a kind of "dating agency" that puts researchers and patients in contact.

Researchers say around 30% of cancer patients may be taking part in clinical trials, but for diabetes that figure is less than 1%.
