National Diabetes Audit (adults) Young People with Type 2 Diabetes State of the Nation report (England and Wales)

Reports | Published: 14 Dec 2023

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) has published a State of the Nation report on Young people with type 2 diabetes. This is the second of these reports, aiming to document the number of people with type 2 diabetes up to the age of 40 years, their patient characteristics and the diabetes care they receive. This is important because adverse diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes are more common in people who develop type 2 diabetes at an earlier age and it is thought the numbers of affected individuals are increasing.

This overview details the findings and recommendations relating to diabetes care for young people with type 2 diabetes for the 2021-22 audit which covers the period 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2022. More specifically, it covers:

  • Trends in cross-sectional prevalence and characteristics of young people with type 2 diabetes over the last 5 audit years (2017-18 to 2021-22)
  • Receipt of care processes and treatment target achievement in people with type 2 diabetes at young age
  • Treatment received, including statins and antihypertensive treatment, along with the location of care.
