Dr Partha Kar
The number of people with type 2 diabetes is increasing in the UK, as it is more common in people who are overweight or obese. It also tends to run in families. It is around five times more common in South Asian and African-Caribbean people (often developing before the age of 40 in this group). It is estimated that there are around 940,000 people in England with type 2 diabetes who have not yet been diagnosed with the condition.
