As of 2021, the prevalence of diabetics in the UK totaled 8.2 percent. Type 2 diabetes, highly related to unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as the overconsumption of sugar and a lack of exercise, as well as aging, affects more individuals than type 1 diabetes. Between 2023 and 2024, over 3.5 million people in England were registered with type 2 diabetes, while almost 277 thousand had type 1. Type 1 diabetes Between 2023 and 2024, most people registered with type 1 diabetes in England were aged 40 years and younger, with 44.7 percent. In 2021, the UK was the European country with the second-highest number of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes after Germany, with over 31,600 cases. Treatment The NHS in the UK provides nine care processes annually to people with diabetes. Blood pressure checks, cholesterol monitoring, and foot surveillance are among those. Figures show that almost half of individuals in England with type 2 diabetes received all nine care processes between 2022 and 2023. This figure totaled 37 percent in the case of patients with type 1 diabetes. The same trend could be observed in Wales in 2021/22, where the share of type 2 diabetics receiving all care processes was double the type 1 patients.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition that affects the amount of sugar in a person’s bloodstream and causes it to become too high. This type of diabetes can be caused by risk factors such as obesity and inactivity and, as shown in this figure, type 2 diabetes is more common among older individuals. Between 2023 and 2024, of those registered with type 2 diabetes in England, **** percent were aged between 40 and 64 years.

This is an overview of the treatment and demographics of 227,435 adults with type 1 diabetes. From 2019 to 2022 glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes in England and Wales improved while blood pressure control deteriorated. Use of diabetes technology (wearable glucose monitoring devices in England and insulin pumps in England and Wales) was associated with lower glucose levels. Diabetes technology was used less by those in the most deprived groups and in ethnic minorities. 30% of people with type 1 diabetes did not attend specialist care in 2021-22 and were less likely to receive annual checks or achieve treatment targets as recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). There are 3 recommendations for commissioners of care.

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) provides a comprehensive view of diabetes care in England and Wales. It measures the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards. This NICE guidance is based on evidence that regular systematic review of people with diabetes and achievement of glucose, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk standards maintains health and reduces long term complications.

Between 2023 and 2024, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes were more prevalent among men than women in England. In this period, for example, **** percent of those with type 2 diabetes were male, compared with **** percent of women. This statistic displays the distribution of individuals registered with diabetes in England in 2023/24, by gender.

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) provides a comprehensive view of diabetes care in England and Wales. It measures the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against NICE Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards. This is the Type 1 Diabetes report. It details the findings and recommendations relating to diabetes care process completion, treatment target achievement and structured education for people with type 1 diabetes. The 2019-20 audit covers the period 01 January 2019 to 31 March 2020. This is the first NDA report dedicated to people with type 1 diabetes. A new diagnosis validation process, which considers medication as well as recorded diagnosis, has been introduced to try to ensure that only people with true type 1 diabetes are included (see appendix). Results are to be taken in the context of low data submission from specialist services, possibly hampered due to COVID-19.

Between 2023 and 2024, over ******* percent of all those registered with type 2 diabetes in England were Asian or Asian British. This statistic displays the share of individuals registered with diabetes in England in 2023/24, by ethnicity.

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) and the National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA) provide a comprehensive view of diabetes care in England and Wales. They measure the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards. This is the second Young People with Type 2 Diabetes report (1). It aims to document the number of people with type 2 diabetes up to the age of 40 years, their patient characteristics and the diabetes care they receive. This is important because adverse diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes are more common in people who develop type 2 diabetes at an earlier age and it is thought the numbers of affected individuals are increasing (2,3).

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) is part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) which is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and funded by NHS England and the Welsh Government. The NDA is managed by NHS Digital in partnership with Diabetes UK. The NDA measures the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against NICE Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards, in England and Wales. The NDA collects and analyses data for use by a range of stakeholders to drive changes and improvements in the quality of services and health outcomes for people with diabetes. This short report details the top-level findings for the 2018-19 audit. The audit collected data during May and June 2019, for the period 01 January 2018 to 31 March 2019. The top-level findings below, along with supporting data at Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Local Health Board (LHB), GP practice and specialist diabetes service have been made available to provide data back to services in a timely manner that can help drive improvements in the quality of diabetes care locally. The full report, scheduled for 2020, will contain full key findings, recommendations and results of new analyses into HbA1c check frequencies and blood glucose drug cohorts. We will communicate to users when the date for this report has been finalised. A new method of collecting structured education attendance data was trialled for 2018-19. In addition to extracting education data from GP practice systems, structured education providers could submit data directly via the Clinical Audit Platform (CAP). Around 20 providers submitted, however only a small proportion of records were submitted with the required data. This exercise has shown the potential value of this additional collection and improvements to the process are being developed to improve future collections.

BackgroundEstimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) was a novel non-insulin-based marker of insulin resistance (IR), which had been used in many studies to evaluate the clinical prognosis of diabetes. However, the association of eGDR with atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes remains unclear.MethodsThe study utilized UK Biobank data from 31,733 participants. Kaplan-Meier curves and Log-rank tests assessed AF, HF, and cardiovascular mortality incidence. Multivariate Cox models and restricted cubic splines analyzed the associations of eGDR with these outcomes. Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) analysis evaluated the joint effects of eGDR and PRS. Boruta algorithm filtered key predictive variables. Subgroup analysis was performed using cardiovascular high-risk factors, and mediation analysis explored the relationships of eGDR with the outcomes.ResultsSubjects with higher eGDR were more likely to be female, younger, more physically active, non-smoker, and non-drinker. The cumulative incidence of AF, HF, and cardiovascular mortality in the higher quartiles of GDR were significantly lower than those in the lowest quartile (log-rank P < 0.001 for all). eGDR exhibited an independent negative linear correlation with the risk of AF (HR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91-0.96), HF (HR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.74-0.82), and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.83-0.88) risk. eGDR made the most significant contribution to the predicted outcomes. In diabetic patients with high genetic susceptibility, high eGDR could reduce the risk of AF (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.51-0.90), HF (HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.29-0.62), and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.22-0.42). Mediation analysis demonstrated that 10.7%, 7.9%, and 10.3% of the relationship between eGDR and AF, HF, and cardiovascular mortality among individuals with diabetes were mediated by eGFR, respectively.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that higher eGDR levels were associated with a decreased risk of AF, HF, and cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, eGDR may serve as a valuable tool for predicting the risk of AF, HF, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes.
