Thousands tackle diabetes risk using NHS scheme of exercise and healthy eating
- Thousands of adults in England used the NHS Healthier You Programme last year to reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes by following a nine-month lifestyle support scheme.
- The programme arose from public health concerns about rising type 2 diabetes linked to obesity, inactivity, and other risk factors in millions of people across the UK.
- It offers personalized guidance on healthy eating and activity, with over 900,000 high-risk adults having accessed it since 2016 to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes development.
- Completing the programme can lower diabetes risk by 37%, as NHS England stated that 166,360 started the scheme in 2024 alone, showing its growing reach and impact.
- This NHS initiative is empowering people to improve their health and may reduce healthcare costs by preventing type 2 diabetes and associated complications nationwide.
