Britain is in the grip of a health epidemic that’s threatening to overwhelm the NHS. More and more of us are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It’s a hidden killer which can lead to heart failure, blindness, kidney disease and leg amputations. Now even children are being diagnosed with the condition. Filming over six months, Panorama reports from the frontline of the epidemic – in Birmingham, where almost one in ten people has the disease.
