PromarkerD for predicting the risk of diabetic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

People with type 2 diabetes are considered to have a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities as a result of the condition. People from some family backgrounds are at higher risk of developing diabetic kidney disease. Race and disability are protected characteristics under The Equality Act 2010.
