Stoic Brits unaware of symptoms of Type 2 diabetes Around 2.7 million Brits have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, while another 850,000 are thought to have undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes. A new survey by Bupa, supported by Alexandra Burke, found that over a third (35%) of people said they had symptoms that could be a sign of the condition. However, only 32% of these were seeking medical advice from a doctor. Over two thirds (68%) of people assume nothing is wrong and will not visit a doctor if they have what they consider to be ‘minor’ symptoms, commonly associated with Type 2 diabetes. Over a quarter (27%) of those people don’t visit a doctor because they simply think it is nothing to worry about and not a sign of anything more serious. news.advogroup.co.uk/stoic-brits-unaware-of-symptoms-of-type-2-diabetes/
