The first ever national NHS diabetes prevention programme has been announced for England by two government arms-length bodies.
The programme, a joint initiative between NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK, was launched today at the charity’s annual conference.
Those behind the move hope it could replicate “at scale” overseas trials showing a 30-60% reductions in type 2 diabetes incidence in adults at high risk through intensive lifestyle change programme interventions.
The new NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme will initially target up to 10,000 people at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with national roll-out planned to follow.
