A quarter of COVID-19 patients who have died in hospitals in England had diabetes, according to official figures.
For the first time, NHS England has published a breakdown of deaths by pre-existing conditions. Only five per cent of victims didn’t have an underlying issue.
Of the 22,332 patients who died since March 31, when pre-existing conditions began to be reported, some 5,873 (26 per cent) of patients had diabetes.
