<p>Diagnosed diabetes prevalence is taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework
(QOF) and represents all patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes and included
on GP registers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Diabetes prevalence is increasing.
Diagnosed diabetes prevalence has increased from 2.3 million (5.3%) in 2009/10 to
2.8 million (6.2%) in 2013/14; an increase of nearly half a million people.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Public Health England’s diabetes prevalence model estimates
total diabetes prevalence for England and for all local authorities and clinical commissioning
groups (CCG) in England. The model reflects the prevalence of diabetes (diagnosed
and undiagnosed) and adjusts for the age, sex, ethnic group and deprivation pattern
of the local population.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The estimated total diabetes
prevalence using the diabetes prevalence model is 7.5% in 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>If current trends continue then we estimate that by 2030 there will be over
4 million people with diabetes. This represents 8.8% of the population aged 16 years
and over.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This data is publically available on the Healthier
Lives website at:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://healthierlives.phe.org.uk/topic/diabetes"
target="_blank">http://healthierlives.phe.org.uk/topic/diabetes</a></p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>The website also provides diagnosed prevalence at the CCG level.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Tackling diabetes is of great concern to this Government. Building
on the National Diabetes Prevention Programme, the Department is developing its plans
to improve outcomes for those at risk of and with diabetes. These will be announced
in due course.</p><p> </p>
