£1.3m trial targets aggressive diabetes in young adults

The funding will target the rising number of young adults with type 2 diabetes, who often develop an aggressive form of the disease. Northumbria University researchers will lead a study across England, helping GP practices give better support to patients aged 18 to 39. This project, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, will also examine cost effectiveness.
