Quarter of diabetes 'undiagnosed'
A quarter of people with diabetes in England have not had the condition diagnosed, a study suggests.
Among women over 40 who had diabetes, 45% had not had it diagnosed, the Healthcare Commission reported.
The NHS watchdog carried out an audit in 2003-4 of 250,000 patients in the country, covering 1,700 GP practices and 47 hospital trusts.
