 The text discusses the importance of identifying people at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and taking preventative measures. It highlights that certain groups, such as those aged over 25 from South Asian, Chinese, African-Caribbean or Black African descent, are more likely to develop the condition. A new guidance recommends that these individuals should be assessed for their risk of developing type 2 diabetes and offered preventative measures if necessary. The guidance also emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to take a proactive approach in identifying and supporting those at high risk. Additionally, it suggests that self-assessment tools can be used by individuals to determine their own risk level. The article concludes by stating that early identification and prevention of type 2 diabetes is crucial, and that with the right support, many cases can be prevented or delayed.
