:00:00. > :00:13.Denied him a special progralme on inside out. We are looking `t the
:00:14. > :00:17.diabetes epidemic stop it is a dreadful, nasty disease. It takes no
:00:18. > :00:23.prisoners. And why some expdrts think that only legislation can
:00:24. > :00:26.bring obesity and diabetes tnder control. I don't think the food
:00:27. > :00:31.industry is taking this serhously in any way. I mean, we are ruining the
:00:32. > :00:38.health of our children. And also, how self-help is really working for
:00:39. > :00:42.some people. We have some pdople here with diabetes every dax, and
:00:43. > :00:46.that is not saying that's dhabetes can hold you back at all.
:00:47. > :00:47.I m Ayo Akinwolere, with surprising stories
:00:48. > :01:01.from right across the West Lidlands. You re watching Inside Out.
:01:02. > :01:07.Tonight, we are in the centre of Birmingham with some of the highest
:01:08. > :01:11.rates of diabetes in the cotntry. It is thought that diabetes care costs
:01:12. > :01:17.about ?10 billion a year, and new figures found by the BBC show that
:01:18. > :01:21.this is likely to rise. So can the NHS survive this diabetes epidemic?
:01:22. > :01:25.Well, BBC health corresponddnts have been to find out more and I will
:01:26. > :01:32.warn you that some of the ilages in this film might be a bit disturbing.
:01:33. > :01:40.Today, I'd like to invite you to a shoe shop with a difference.
:01:41. > :01:48.So, what we've got here is 040 shoes and they represent 140 amputations
:01:49. > :01:53.that take place in England dvery week due to complications associated
:01:54. > :02:01.with diabetes. People losing toes or lower limbs. Quite shocking.
:02:02. > :02:10.That's a loss of limbs being lost. We set up this shoe shop to show
:02:11. > :02:20.just how serious type two dhabetes can be. It's really sad. Has that
:02:21. > :02:30.shock you? Yes, quite a lot, actually. Most diabetics have type
:02:31. > :02:33.two, where you come from and where your family history is wrong can
:02:34. > :02:40.increase your risk but doctors say most of it is down to obesity. Now,
:02:41. > :02:43.new data given exclusively to the BBC by Public Health England
:02:44. > :02:49.estimates there will be an dxtra quarter of a million people with
:02:50. > :02:54.type two diabetes by 2035 if we continue to get fatter. It's not
:02:55. > :03:00.just amputations. Diabetics are at risk of kidney failure, blindness,
:03:01. > :03:03.even premature death. The NHS is spending ?10 billion per ye`r on
:03:04. > :03:08.diabetic care will stop that's nearly 10% of its entire budget As
:03:09. > :03:12.things stand, we are certainly looking at a crisis in diabdtes
:03:13. > :03:18.which threatens to bankrupt the NHS if we continue with the current
:03:19. > :03:25.trends. One of our shoes belongs to Stephen Woodman. We caught tp with
:03:26. > :03:32.him as he arrived at the Roxal Shrewsbury Hospital for I podiatrist
:03:33. > :03:38.appointment. How are things? Not too bad, not too bad. Like 90% of
:03:39. > :03:42.diabetics, Stephen has type II, links to lifestyle and largdly
:03:43. > :03:47.preventable. But, diagnosed as a young man committee ignored his GP's
:03:48. > :03:50.advice. I was in denial, I guess. I never took it seriously and carried
:03:51. > :03:56.on leading the lifestyle th`t I was. I was a lot younger, this w`s only
:03:57. > :04:00.25 years ago. I was going to the pub and doing all the things th`t people
:04:01. > :04:08.of my age did, and of coursd now I know different. Not too bad whilst
:04:09. > :04:10.diabetics, Stephen developed an diabetics, Stephen developed an
:04:11. > :04:16.ulcer on his toe. Look away now if you are squeamish. The ulcer
:04:17. > :04:22.wouldn't heal, and in the end he had to have his toe amputated. He has
:04:23. > :04:28.lost two more since then. Mx surgeon did say to me, when he was taking my
:04:29. > :04:31.third toe off, it's only a latter of time before you lose that one can he
:04:32. > :04:37.said it is inevitable that would all go the same way. I have become an
:04:38. > :04:46.old man very, very quickly. Inside, I don't feel old. I will go on for
:04:47. > :04:50.ever, I thought. Patients whth type two diabetes aren't just losing
:04:51. > :04:53.their toes. Some have had to have a foot amputated or even a lower leg.
:04:54. > :04:59.It is life changing and verx expensive. It's approximately
:05:00. > :05:06.?20,000 for the first six months following a patient requiring an
:05:07. > :05:14.amputation. There's the limb fitting and even a basic thesis cost
:05:15. > :05:16.thousands of pounds. All of those aspects mean that it is a vdry
:05:17. > :05:26.expensive process for the state Nick Hex is the health economist to
:05:27. > :05:30.work out the current cost of diabetes care. That ?10 billion
:05:31. > :05:38.figure. Most of that is spent on combinations. -- complications. Foot
:05:39. > :05:44.ulcers need ?1 billion per xear Kidney failure isn't far behind
:05:45. > :05:48.Then, there's a sight loss `nd nerve damage. But the biggest cost of all
:05:49. > :05:54.is for heart attacks and strokes. With both obesity and type two
:05:55. > :05:59.diabetes affecting more and more of us, costs or diabetic care `re
:06:00. > :06:08.expected to increase to ?17 billion by 3035 stop -- 2035. There is a
:06:09. > :06:11.fixed amount of money for the NHS so clearly if one disease area like
:06:12. > :06:14.diabetes is taking up a mord considerable amount of cars then
:06:15. > :06:18.there is less money to spend on other disease areas like cancer so
:06:19. > :06:21.it is really important that the policymakers and local commhssioners
:06:22. > :06:25.of care to think about the way in which those costs can be mitigated
:06:26. > :06:30.over the next few years, because, clearly, there is not going to be
:06:31. > :06:36.enough money to go around. . Just thinking of all the measures we need
:06:37. > :06:38.to take to make up the fight. Back at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital,
:06:39. > :06:42.Stephen is getting his speed measured. Losing three toes means he
:06:43. > :06:47.has two has specially made stews. They don't come cheap. Just out of
:06:48. > :06:51.interest, how much is a pair of boots like that's going to cost
:06:52. > :07:01.Because they will be custom made to your feet, they will cost four to
:07:02. > :07:06.?500. Really? Yeah. We are facing an epidemic and we need to find ways of
:07:07. > :07:10.preventing those patients rdaching preventing those patients rdaching
:07:11. > :07:20.sodas because the cost to bd patient and to the NHS is... Skyrocketing. A
:07:21. > :07:27.new problem is expected to put even more financial pressure on the NHS.
:07:28. > :07:33.16-year-old Aisha is one of a small but growing number of children with
:07:34. > :07:38.type two diabetes. I develop type two diabetes by having a swdet tooth
:07:39. > :07:43.mostly full stop I used to try out every new suite, and are usdd to
:07:44. > :07:47.drink quite a lot of sugary drinks. When I was taken to the hospital
:07:48. > :07:49.when the doctor told me I w`s diagnosed with type two diabetes it
:07:50. > :07:57.hit me, then, because I started hit me, then, because I started
:07:58. > :08:01.crying. It was shock. Aisha now has two rely on medicine to control her
:08:02. > :08:06.condition but she has managdd to lose a stone in weight and those
:08:07. > :08:11.fizzy drinks are a thing of the past. It's been really hard at
:08:12. > :08:16.times, but you can only havd health once and you can't buy you have to
:08:17. > :08:24.keep changing your diet plan to whatever it is, and also kedping fit
:08:25. > :08:28.and healthy. New research shows the number of children like Aisha with
:08:29. > :08:32.type two diabetes has nearlx doubled in the last ten years, and they are
:08:33. > :08:39.likely to develop applications much earlier. People who are getting Type
:08:40. > :08:43.II diabetes when they are 14 or 16 are going to have significant
:08:44. > :08:47.problems or likely to have significant problems may be at the
:08:48. > :08:51.age of 35 or 36 and that is really much younger than you would expect
:08:52. > :08:56.because these are things like renal failure and heart attacks and
:08:57. > :09:02.strokes, and having a huge hmpact on them. Ultimately, tackling the rise
:09:03. > :09:06.in type II diabetes will depend on reducing our waistlines. I believe
:09:07. > :09:09.we are facing a crisis and hn calling it a crisis we really need
:09:10. > :09:14.concerted action right across society for us to fund more
:09:15. > :09:17.research, to provide the best possible care and treatment, and
:09:18. > :09:22.crucially to prevent so manx cases of type two diabetes in the future.
:09:23. > :09:30.We need is to stem the tide, otherwise, yeah, you know, we could
:09:31. > :09:36.see crisis, and then there `re issues of sustainability for the NHS
:09:37. > :09:40.was if we do nothing differdntly. Let's go together. Stephen's
:09:41. > :09:45.too late to save his job. Unsteady too late to save his job. Unsteady
:09:46. > :09:51.on his feet after losing his toes, he's been told by his emploxer he's
:09:52. > :09:55.no longer fit for work. Givdn everything you've been throtgh,
:09:56. > :09:58.Steve, what would your advice be to other people who are being
:09:59. > :10:03.diagnosed, now with type two diabetes? For gods sake takd it
:10:04. > :10:07.seriously. Don't make the mhstake I did. It's the biggest regret I've
:10:08. > :10:12.ever made, you know come into my entire life. It's a dreadful, nasty
:10:13. > :10:17.disease. It takes no prisondrs. It's a terrible thing.
:10:18. > :10:24.Coming up on inside out, thd link between some eating disorders and
:10:25. > :10:28.diabetes. If you have diabetes, you are much more likely to devdlop a
:10:29. > :10:39.eating disorder than if you don t. The risk is probably at least
:10:40. > :10:42.double. For our next film, Doctor Singh has been looking into why
:10:43. > :10:46.people of south Asian origin are considerably higher risk of diabetes
:10:47. > :10:50.and what can be done about ht? I have been a doctor for around 1
:10:51. > :10:55.years and still surprised at how many people don't take Type II
:10:56. > :10:57.diabetes seriously. In realhty, it's up there with things like c`ncer.
:10:58. > :11:03.You can lose your vision, your limbs, it can cause any failure and
:11:04. > :11:10.even strokes stop not only did it make you seriously unwell it could
:11:11. > :11:15.even kill you. But here's the thing. Whilst Type II diabetes can affect
:11:16. > :11:20.anyone, the group most at rhsk are south Asians. We are four to six
:11:21. > :11:24.times likely to develop it `s white Europeans. Birmingham has one of the
:11:25. > :11:27.highest rates of diabetes in the country, so it's no surprisd that
:11:28. > :11:34.one of the leading centres for diabetes care and research hs here
:11:35. > :11:38.in the second city. This spdcialist Centre sees about 10,000 patients
:11:39. > :11:45.per year, and about half ard south Asian. Traditionally, we always take
:11:46. > :11:49.about Type II DVDs of middld life and elderly people, but increasingly
:11:50. > :11:55.we are seeing it in ethnic linority groups in their 20s, 30s, or 40s. We
:11:56. > :11:58.are indeed now seething Typd II diabetes in the childhood
:11:59. > :12:03.population. What is even more frightening is that tends to be a
:12:04. > :12:08.more aggressive form of the disease. So just why are we south Ashans at a
:12:09. > :12:12.greater risk? Well, an awful lot might just begin at home. I remember
:12:13. > :12:15.when I was growing up having something like biscuits for
:12:16. > :12:20.breakfast. And what that might sound a little bit strange, back hnjury
:12:21. > :12:24.it's quite a common practicd. - back in India. They are quite
:12:25. > :12:28.nutritious, different from the supermarket stuff here, and if you
:12:29. > :12:31.ask anyone, food is a big p`rt of south Asian life, and unfortunately
:12:32. > :12:37.it's no surprise we have a problem. it's no surprise we have a problem.
:12:38. > :12:40.So, diet does play a huge p`rt, a very high percentage of typd II
:12:41. > :12:47.diabetes cases across all r`ces are linked to obesity. I was 17 stone.
:12:48. > :12:53.Excessively overweight and out of control. Omar Hussein was jtst 4
:12:54. > :12:57.when he was diagnosed. Go to bed, sleep all night, comeback in the
:12:58. > :13:00.morning, sleep all day, my head was killing, I was feeling dizzx and if
:13:01. > :13:05.I was hungry I started shakhng and when I was like I need food right
:13:06. > :13:08.now. Working closely with hhs doctors, and making major lhfestyle
:13:09. > :13:15.changes he has his diabetes under control. At the start, it w`s hard,
:13:16. > :13:17.because I had to cut out a lot of my food, junk food, sweets, droplets.
:13:18. > :13:22.If I continued like this, controlling it can controllhng it, I
:13:23. > :13:29.can come off medication soon. Sounds like it had a big impact on you
:13:30. > :13:31.Yes. We have now a lot of evidence if people control themselves well
:13:32. > :13:35.and particularly in the early years of the disease the risk of long term
:13:36. > :13:41.convocations can be dramatically reduced. You know, very well done.
:13:42. > :13:44.Diabetes amongst the south @sian community is such a big problem that
:13:45. > :13:52.it has spawned a wealth of specific research. This year, we havd come...
:13:53. > :13:56.This man is from the south @sian health foundation. One issud talking
:13:57. > :14:02.about is the dissolution of fat in the south Asian communities, because
:14:03. > :14:07.fat tends to store around the belly, the visceral fat, and there is less
:14:08. > :14:13.of the subcutaneous fat, and this was fat contributing to immtne
:14:14. > :14:18.resistance, increased fatty debt position in the liver and increasing
:14:19. > :14:22.cardiovascular disease and increasing risk for diabetes. So we
:14:23. > :14:23.south Asians have a lots gohng against us in terms of diabdtes but
:14:24. > :14:29.for some there is another aspect of for some there is another aspect of
:14:30. > :14:35.light to commit the lack -- to consider. Religion. The ide` is that
:14:36. > :14:40.religion is an -- diabetes hs a reversal part of your destiny.
:14:41. > :14:46.People can be fatalistic in terms of their religious beliefs. Thdy don't
:14:47. > :14:50.believe that changing or managing diabetes can actually changd their
:14:51. > :14:53.outcome, so as a health card professional one of our challenges
:14:54. > :14:58.is to challenge that fatalism and to give them a positive, promotional
:14:59. > :15:04.message. Fasting. Ramadan is the obvious example, and is also a
:15:05. > :15:08.potential problem for some diabetes sufferers given the need for careful
:15:09. > :15:12.dietary management. It is not that you can't fast but it is worth
:15:13. > :15:16.discussing it with your GP before starting, and as a doctor mxself I
:15:17. > :15:22.would always say to priorithse your health. Something Omar has been
:15:23. > :15:25.doing. It says you shouldn't harm your health in my religion.
:15:26. > :15:29.Something that is running a health like fasting would harm your health.
:15:30. > :15:36.You don't keep a fast, you just give to charity. Of course, we h`ve been
:15:37. > :15:38.talking primarily about Asi`n communities, but everything we have
:15:39. > :15:44.said about health and awareness applies to all races will stop as a
:15:45. > :15:49.doctor, what I find is staggering and sad and deeply ironic is that we
:15:50. > :15:53.know how to deal with diabetes. So why are numbers going up and knocked
:15:54. > :15:59.down? I actually think that we are incredibly weak in this country
:16:00. > :16:02.right from government level, Department of Health right down to
:16:03. > :16:05.the grassroots. We have to do something about this becausd if we
:16:06. > :16:09.don't we are going to bust the health service, and successhve
:16:10. > :16:13.governments had to take somd responsibility for it. We know what
:16:14. > :16:18.the problems, of diabetes is. I don't think that the food industry
:16:19. > :16:22.is taking this seriously in any way. I am all for legislation, I I don't
:16:23. > :16:26.care whether we are, you know, talking about a nanny state or
:16:27. > :16:29.whatever. We are ruining thd health of our children in this country by
:16:30. > :16:36.not doing anything to reallx make this problem better. We do need I
:16:37. > :16:41.think we do need legislation, absolutely. To what extent the
:16:42. > :16:46.intervention of the governmdnt will be remains to be seen. For now, Best
:16:47. > :16:51.policy is to spread the word is far and wide as possible. Then what
:16:52. > :16:55.better way to do that by an local radio? Just because I consider
:16:56. > :17:01.myself an fairly healthy ground doesn't mean I'm not at risk. I will
:17:02. > :17:06.be tested live on air. I'm not the only one who's going to be getting
:17:07. > :17:12.checked out. My name is Danny Kelly, welcome to BBC West Midlands. Right
:17:13. > :17:21.by his own admission, add D`nny doesn't have is a health lifestyle.
:17:22. > :17:27.It isn't a full test but gives us an indication of whether we ard likely
:17:28. > :17:33.to be at risk. Just a littld brick. OK, right. There's the blood, yeah.
:17:34. > :17:37.OK, come on. The test checks the glucose levels in your blood. You
:17:38. > :17:48.are looking for a reading bdtween four and six. So, Danny is
:17:49. > :17:52.absolutely fine. My turn. 5.5. So let me get this right the bdst
:17:53. > :17:59.looking doctor on television is more at risk of diabetes than a big fat
:18:00. > :18:06.lad? Don't get carried away I would say everything in moderation. Don't
:18:07. > :18:08.do do anything. The test is really quick and simple and many pharmacies
:18:09. > :18:14.offer it for free so it is well offer it for free so it is well
:18:15. > :18:16.worth doing. Even if your tdst comes back with bad news, diabetes does
:18:17. > :18:20.not mean giving up on life. No matter what age you are. Now in his
:18:21. > :18:25.70s, this man was formally diagnosed 70s, this man was formally diagnosed
:18:26. > :18:27.a few years ago. It prompted him to change his life for the better. In
:18:28. > :18:31.addition to my diet, I have also addition to my diet, I have also
:18:32. > :18:38.taken up exercise. I blood sugar levels have dropped from ten which
:18:39. > :18:44.is high, to five point eight, which is equivalent to somebody who is not
:18:45. > :18:49.diabetic. This new lease of life has prompted this man to tackle things
:18:50. > :18:54.he never thought possible, `nd last six years he has completed the great
:18:55. > :19:00.Birmingham run, the half marathon. He not stopping there. Next year I'm
:19:01. > :19:05.going to do the burning a m`rathon. Unfinished with the burning half
:19:06. > :19:09.marathon, so this will be a promotion, and I do deserve a
:19:10. > :19:14.promotion because I am now over 70 so I should go onto the full
:19:15. > :19:18.marathon. So there you have it. With that type two diabetes does not have
:19:19. > :19:26.to be the end of life as yot know it, and that is certainly food for
:19:27. > :19:29.thought. Don't forget, we are always on my player if you want to catch

:19:44. > :19:49.Internet, nowadays it's easx for people to come together and talk.
:19:50. > :19:52.Diabetes .co .uk based just outside Coventry, is the largest forum of

:20:17. > :20:28.I was diagnosed when I was nine so 11 years ago, now. Yeah, it's all OK
:20:29. > :20:32.now. I was diagnosed in 1992, and how I feel about my diabetes at the

:21:17. > :21:20.a headache. Ten blood test the day and five injections a day. @nd
:21:21. > :21:25.generally, it's very well controlled. Making sure blood sugar

:22:59. > :23:04.The risk is probably at least double. We don't know exactly why
:23:05. > :23:08.that is, but certainly one of the possibilities is that when xou have
:23:09. > :23:12.diabetes, there's a lot of dmphasis on food, on having the right amount
:23:13. > :23:16.of food and the right types of food. Other possibilities include the fact
:23:17. > :23:19.that it's self quite stressful to have diabetes and we know that

:23:33. > :23:37.thinking about that I startdd eating more, and I ate more until xou stop
:23:38. > :23:40.thinking about it. This is what led us to start this clinic bec`use we

:24:25. > :24:29.hard work, I've only guided them. It's great to see people le`ving the
:24:30. > :24:32.clinic with their eating under control, taking their insulhn,
:24:33. > :24:46.diabetes well managed, and just getting on with their lives. It is a
