Abstract: . . .  (eg a factory or a GP practice population). Any screening programme will identify people with IFG or IGT. They should be tested, in line with WHO standards, to rule out a diagnosis of diabetes . This population will need lifestyle advice and will need to be screened for diabetes on a three yearly basis. Other tests are not recommended for screening, although values are included in the table.

This may be done most economically and effectively as part of other health care examinations, such as screening for cardiovascular risk factors. Early identification programmes should thus be restricted to the adult population who fall within high risk groups. Someone with two or more risk factors should be screened for diabetes . People most at risk of developing diabetes : White people aged over 40 years and people from Black, Asian . . .

Any screening programme will identify people with IFG or IGT. They should be tested, in line with WHO standards, to rule out a diagnosis of diabetes . This population will need lifestyle advice and will need to be screened for diabetes on a three yearly basis. Other tests are not recommended for screening, although values are included . . .
