More than 650,000 people with obesity-related diabetes are risking serious health problems such as stroke and blindness because they do not take their medicines, a charity says today. Type 2 diabetes, which is rapidly on the rise as the adult population gains weight, can lead to a range of complications, such as heart disease, kidney problems and amputations, unless it is kept under control. Some 2 million people suffer from type 2 diabetes but the charity Diabetes UK says 650,000 of them are not taking their medication as they should.
