Abstract

The York and Humber Public Health Observatory1 reports that 4.7% of the population now have diabetes, of which 92% (4.3% of the population) have type 2 diabetes. The diagnosed prevalence has doubled between 1994 and 2003. The increasing number of people with type 2 diabetes reflects several factors: an ageing population; a true increase in prevalence, related to increased prevalence of overweight and obesity; decreasing physical activity; better survival of those with diabetes due to improved control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids; and earlier diagnosis, partly from informal screening. (A recent study using British general practice data found that one-third of people aged over 40 years [excluding those known to have diabetes] underwent blood glucose measurement in the previous 2 years.2)
