The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP), known as "Healthier You," is a proactive initiative aimed at reducing the incidence of Type 2 diabetes in England. Launched in 2016, the programme targets individuals identified as having prediabetes or being at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Adults aged 18 and over, identified through blood tests as having non-diabetic hyperglycemia (prediabetes), are eligible for referral to the NHS DPP. Referrals can be made by general practitioners (GPs), nurses, or through NHS Health Checks. The programme is free of charge and available across England, with efforts to accommodate diverse populations and reduce health inequalities.
As of recent evaluations, the NHS DPP has shown promising results in curbing the progression to Type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals. Participants have demonstrated improvements in weight loss, physical activity levels, and blood glucose control. Ongoing assessments aim to enhance engagement and completion rates, ensuring the programme's effectiveness and accessibility.
For more detailed information or to determine eligibility, individuals are encouraged to consult their GP or visit the official NHS England website.
