Three people every hour
"It is estimated that about three people die every hour from diabetes related complications in England"
Source: The YHPHO produced a report in 2008 (Diabetes Attributable Deaths) using 2005 data which said that "In England 26,300 deaths between the ages of 20 and 79 years in 2005 can be attributed to diabetes. This equates to 11.6% of all deaths in this age group.”
Note that this just refers to people of a certain age in England only, and from deaths in 2005.
Calculation: We can then apply a calculation – there are 8,760 hours in the day (365 days x 24 hours = 8,760) so dividing 26,300 by 8,760 gives 3.00.

60 per cent - reducing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes

balanced diet and increasing physical activity levels."
