Abstract

The National Service Framework (NSF) for Diabetes (Department of Health (DH), 2001) set out 12 standards to raise the standards of diabetes care in England to tackle the heavy toll it was taking on individuals and health services. There are an estimated 2.35 million people with diabetes of whom approximately 2.2 million are recorded on GP practice registers. Therefore, a substantial number of people with diabetes remain undiagnosed and there are growing numbers of those at risk of developing it because of their obesity. Indeed, it is predicted that there will be more than 2.5 million people with diabetes by the end of 2010.
