This paper aims to assess whether a population screening process for diabetes in the UK should be developed. The impact of diabetes screening on quality of life is discussed, along with diabetes screening protocol. The screening for type 2 diabetes Mellitus is discussed, and the paper presents an evaluation of new born baby screening, and the management of children with type 2 diabetes. Universal screening vs. targeted screening is examined, and the paper then performs a cost effectiveness analysis for different strategies for the screening and prevention of type 2 diabetes in adults. The paper answers a range of questions, some of which include “Does diabetes represent an important health problem that imposes a significant burden on the population?”, “Is the natural history of type 2 diabetes well understood?”, “Does diabetes have a recognisable preclinical (asymptomatic) stage during which the disease can be diagnosed?”, and “Does treatment after early detection of type 2 diabetes yield benefits superior to those obtained when treatment is delayed?” The different types of screening tests are identified, as well as their performance, and the paper argues whether or not diabetes screening should be an ongoing process.
