Abstract

Background
NICE recommends intensive lifestyle change programmes for ‘at-risk’ individuals, to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes. This project offered the opportunity for individuals to receive such support and education, previously unavailable locally.

Aim
This study examined the impact, implementation, and delivery costs of a group-based diabetes prevention education programme for participants at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Learning from the project will shape future diabetes prevention care locally.

Method
Patients identified as 'at-risk' from GP practice records were invited to attend a six-week X-PERT Prevention of Diabetes (X-POD) programme, delivered locally by trained educators. Changes from baseline to six months in objective measures of weight, BMI, waist circumference, HbA1c, and self-reported physical activity, diet, health status and psychological wellbeing were assessed. Focus groups and interviews were conducted to assess programme implementation. A unit cost economic evaluation of the programme was also undertaken.

Results
Attendance at group education sessions and six-month follow-up were maintained above 84%. Amongst 91 participants providing follow-up data for the outcome evaluation, significant positive changes were observed for weight (4.04kg loss), BMI (1.43kg/m2 reduction), waist circumference (5.32cm loss), HbA1c (3.45mmol reduction), physical activity, and diet (all p
