Diabetes forcing many amputations

Kudos, fatsos.

"Around 100 people a week in the UK have a limb amputated as a result of diabetes, a charity has claimed.

Diabetes UK highlighted the statistic to raise awareness of the "life-shattering" impact of the illness.

People with diabetes are 15 times more likely to need a lower limb amputation than people without the condition.

Diabetes, which is on the increase, can also cause heart attacks, strokes, blindness and kidney failure.

People with diabetes are far more likely to develop foot problems, including ulcers, which can get infected and can even lead to gangrene...

There are currently 2.3 million people in the UK with Type 1 and 2 diabetes.

Type 1 usually develops in childhood while Type 2 is linked to lifestyle factors like obesity.

An extra 500,000 people in the UK have Type 2 diabetes but are unaware of it.

More than one in 10 foot ulcers results in an amputation."

Fat people get Type 2 diabetes.

It is not the "diabetes forcing many amputations."

It is the fatsos.
