C/N/668. UK Population screening for Diabetes

WORDS:

DATE:

The impact of diabetes screening on quality of life is discussed, along with diabetes screening protocol.

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.
