1.1.1
GPs and other health professionals and community practitioners in health and community venues should implement a two-stage strategy to identify people at high risk of type 2 diabetes (and those with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes). First, a risk assessment should be offered (see recommendation 1.1.3). Second, where necessary, a blood test should be offered to confirm whether people have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk (see recommendation 1.1.4). [2012]
