Pre-diabetes advice

This download provides evidence-based advice for health providers on risk factor management for pre-diabetes.

Pre-diabetes and self-management pilot projects

The Ministry contracted providers including PHOs and sports trusts to deliver a small number of pilot projects on pre-diabetes and self-management approaches.

The pre-diabetes pilot projects looked at the effects of lifestyle interventions on health outcomes such as HbA1c and body weight in people with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

The lifestyle interventions included physical activity, nutrition education and psychology support.

In the self-management pilot projects, new models of care that aimed to empower people with a long-term condition to self-manage their condition were examined.

The models of care included self-management education programmes, patient-centred care plans and dedicated support from health care professionals.
