An "extremely rapid rise" in the number of adults in England on the verge of developing diabetes has led to a fresh warning it is likely to result in a steep increase in the number of people with the disease.
More than a third of adults in England have the condition, also known as pre-diabetes, new research suggests.
People classed as having borderline diabetes are at high risk of developing diabetes and its associated complications.'

The lifelong condition that already affects more than three million people can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, amputation and blindness.
Ms Young said: "We need to make sure those at high risk are made aware of this so that they can get the advice and support they need to make the lifestyle changes that can help reduce this.
"In fact, up to 80% of cases of type 2 diabetes could be avoided or delayed by making these kinds of changes."

People can also check their risk online or at a high street pharmacy or on the Diabetes UK website: www.diabetes.org.uk/risk .

Are you aware of your blood glucose? I was pre diabetic last year and had to make lifestyle choices that brought it back within the normal range.
