Rishi Sunak does not regret taking part in People’s Forum: The Prime Minister on GB News despite Ofcom launching an investigation into whether the programme breached impartiality rules, Downing Street has said.

Asked about the watchdog’s actions, his official spokesman told reporters: “No. This is obviously a matter firstly for Ofcom, who’s rightly an independent regulator.

“But obviously, as you’ll see regularly, the Prime Minister undertakes interviews from a range of broadcasters, outlets and other media.

“And media appearances such as the one he conducted last week are an important part of the democratic process.”

Younger people with the condition, which causes blood sugar levels to become too high and can lead to serious complications without treatment, faced a higher risk of being undiagnosed.

Using data from the Health Survey for England 2013 to 2019, the ONS estimates that 7% of people over the age of 16 show evidence of type 2 diabetes, although three in ten, or about one million, were not diagnosed.

Around 4.3 million people were living with a diabetes diagnosis in the UK.

Symptoms include excessive thirst, tiredness and needing to urinate more often, although many people have no symptoms.

Nikki Joule, policy manager at the charity, said: “Type 2 diabetes is a life-changing condition that often develops slowly, especially in the early stages, when it can be very difficult to spot the symptoms.”

Those most likely to develop the condition had known diabetes risk factors such as being overweight or older.

However, the ONS said there was “considerable prevalence” in people considered at low risk of pre-diabetes, including 4% of people aged 16 to 44 and 8% who were not overweight or obese.

Those from black or Asian groups also faced more than double the risk of pre-diabetes at 22% compared with 10% of people from white, mixed and other ethnic groups.

Type 2 diabetes overall was higher among black and Asian people at 5%.

An estimated one million adults in England are living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
