Diabetes UK warns of a 39% rise in type 2 diabetes cases among under-40s, largely due to poor diets and obesity, with the disease becoming more aggressive and acute at younger ages. Cases have increased from 120,000 in 2016/17 to nearly 168,000, while obesity rates in the UK are one of the highest in Europe. The charity calls for urgent action to address the issue and prevent further health complications.
