<p>The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is available to anyone identified, through
a blood test, as being at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, for referral. Local
systems receive regular data on whether the numbers of people accessing the programme
who are black or minority ethnic or who live in areas of higher deprivation are proportionate
to the local population.</p><p>Additionally, in September 2020 the National Health
Service started piloting a Low Calorie Diet treatment programme for people who are
overweight and living with type 2 diabetes. The programme aims to support people diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes to lose weight and make better decisions about their health,
enabling them to better control their blood sugar levels – reducing the need for diabetes-related
medication and potentially achieving remission of their diabetes.</p>
