The new figures show that there are now almost 3.7 million people living with a diagnosis of the condition in the UK, an increase of 1.9 million since 1998. The charity says it has become the "fastest growing health crisis of our time". 90% of cases are Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to lifestyle factors such as obesity.
