Record 166,360 Adults Join NHS Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program in England
The NHS Healthier You Programme has supported over 900,000 adults at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes since its launch in 2016, with a record 166,360 starting the initiative last year. This nine-month programme offers personalised support on healthier eating, weight management, and physical activity, either face-to-face or digitally, aiming to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Research by Manchester University shows that completing the programme reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 37%, with participants typically losing an average of 3.3 kg. Type 2 diabetes, which affects around 90% of people with diabetes in England, poses serious health risks including heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems, and costs the NHS approximately £10.7 billion annually. Local efforts, such as those in Sussex, emphasize early intervention and lifestyle changes, offering both digital and face-to-face support to empower people at risk. Health leaders stress the importance of awareness and prevention during Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week 2025, encouraging individuals to assess their risk and take proactive steps to improve their health.
