Diabetes: Screening
(asked on 19th January 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been tested for diabetes under the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme.
This question was answered on 24th January 2017
The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) is for individuals diagnosed as high risk of type 2 diabetes, with a high blood sugar recorded in the past 12 months either through a National Health Service health check or other means. NHS DPP does not test for diabetes but rather offers support to those at risk of type 2 diabetes.
