There is a strong link between Obesity and Diabetes.  Ireland’s population is becoming increasingly obese and this is leading to a rapid increase in the number of diabetic patients.  Latest figures from 2010 show that more that 10% of adults over the age of 55 suffer from Diabetes.  Also that 2.7%, or 41,000, aged over 45, have undiagnosed Diabetes.  For more information click here.
