NICE guidance on preventing type 2 diabetes

NICE has published new guidance on identifying people at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and the provision of clinically and cost effective interventions to help reduce the risk or delay the onset of the condition.  The guidance follows a consultation exercise previously reported in the HEDS Blog.

The guidance is based around five reviews, a network meta-analysis and cost-effectiveness modeling undertaken by the ScHARR Public Health Collaborating Centre with considerable input from HEDS. The five reports that fed into the guidance process are listed below and available (here).
