How much of the "increase" in type 2 diabetes is due to screening and better diagnosis?
No idea. But figures suggest there's still a way to go - On that last link, apparently 850,000 people in England have diabetes, but haven't been diagnosed as yet.
If those 850,000 were diagnosed tomorrow then no doubt the headlines would state that the incidence of type 2 diabetes had dramatically risen and estimates of the number undiagnosed would leap based on the numbers that had been diagnosed!
