Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed
You’re more at risk of developing this potentially serious condition if you’ve recently been found to have a blood glucose test within the following ranges:
- Fasting plasma glucose between 5.5 and 6.9 mmol/l
- HbA1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol
Or if you are:
- white and over 40
- black or South Asian and aged over 25
- or a woman who has had gestational diabetes
Ask your GP or practice nurse if you are eligible to join the free Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, which can support you to reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
