A new campaign to identify diabetes sufferers in Bradford has been outlined, after it was revealed more than 45,000 are at risk of developing the condition.
Bradford Beating Diabetes, a new project from Bradford City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), will potentially involve 27 GP practices in the city centre area.
The project, which officially begins on Thursday, November 14, to coincide with World Diabetes Day, will run until March 2015 providing patient screening and lifestyle interventions.
Dr Adeel Iqbal, who is in charge of the project, said: ?The idea is not to raise anxiety for people, it is to create awareness and education around this condition. But we think it may be up to 45,000 who should be assessed. That is the scale we are looking at.?
