The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) has called for more action to be taken to increase awareness of type 1 diabetes and its devastating complications, following shocking statistics released by Diabetes UK.
The Diabetes UK research indicates that the condition is responsible for 11.6% of deaths among 20 to 79 year olds, but it is believed that the size of the problem has been underestimated as related complications are often listed as the cause of death rather than diabetes.
