Two hospitals in London are trying a new computer system called Aire-DM. This system helps find people who might get type 2 diabetes before they actually do. It looks at heart tests called ECGs to find signs that doctors might miss. The computer is right about 70% of the time. It works even better if it knows things like how old a person is or if they have high blood pressure.

The hospitals will test this on 1,000 people to see how well it works. They hope it can be used everywhere in the future. Finding diabetes early can stop bad things like heart problems. The British Heart Foundation is helping pay for this research. They think it can help many people stay healthy.

Type 2 diabetes is when your body can't handle sugar well. Many people have it and don't know. This can be bad for their health. The new computer system can help find these people early. Then, they can get help to stay healthy and avoid problems.
