New research from Queen Mary, University of London suggests that many cases of diabetes could be prevented by making use of existing prediction tools.
The study, published today in the British Medical Journal*, shows that there are dozens of different techniques for predicting with reasonable accuracy who will develop diabetes but almost none are currently being used.
The researchers say that if these tools were used by GPs and members of the public, many cases of diabetes could be prevented.
