Hi all!
I am from Malta and my partners father is now a diabetic, in order to help and have a better understanding about diabetes i am trying to do as much research as possible. I would be keen to understand more about Diabetics here in the UK. is there anywhere where i can find statistics on how many people in the UK have diabetes and the diversification within that - Age, Gender, etc.
Please let me know where I can find this information so that i can help my father in law and be better versed in the overall subject.

thanks 🙂
