Diabetes: Men do you have it, but don't know it?

Around 2.6 million people in the UK currently have diabetes, but an estimated 500,000 people have type 2 diabetes and don’t know it, because they ignore or are unaware of its early warning signs.

According to Diabetes UK, most cases of diabetes are detected by accident, when the person visits their doctor with another medical condition.

But a late diagnosis of diabetes increases the risk of serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, blindness, heart disease and amputation.

Middle aged men are twice as likely to have diabetes compared with women, but are less likely to visit their GP.

Most At Risk

Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor. Around 80 per cent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. Other risk factors include:

• Having a large waist
• Being of Black or South Asian origin
• Having a family history of the condition
• Being over the age of 40, or over 25 if you’re Black or of South Asian descent

At risk waist measurements are 37 inches or more for men, except those of South Asian origin who are at risk at 35 inches or more, and 31.5 inches or more for all women.

       Diabetes warning signs

• Increased thirst
• Having to pee all the time, especially at night
• Extreme tiredness
• Blurred vision
• Genital itching
• Wounds which are slow to heal
