Earlier this year we conducted research into diabetes awareness to find out what the British public knew about the condition, and whether they could identify the early warning signs.

As we discovered, the general public’s knowledge about the condition was limited, with only 26% of people knowing that age, weight and genetics are all risk factors for Type 2 diabetes.

In addition, just 27% of respondents knew that both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are treated with insulin injections.

To view the full results, and find out the early warning signs of diabetes, watch the video below.

If you have suffered complications linked to diabetes and believe it to have been the fault of a medical professional, or if you believe diagnosis of diabetes was missed or misdiagnosed, you could make a diabetes compensation claim with JMW.
