Type-two diabetes limb amputations rise dramatically (UK)

"The number of people in England having a limb amputated because of type-two diabetes has risen dramatically, a study has shown. Between 1996 and 2005, below-ankle amputations doubled to more than 2,000, and major amputations increased by 43%. However the number of amputations in people with type-one diabetes dropped, an Imperial College London team found. A charity said more early diagnosis was needed, as diabetes can go undetected for more than 10 years" - BBC
