NICE is developing public health programme guidance on type 2 diabetes: preventing pre-diabetes among adults in high-risk groups

All registered stakeholders for the above public health intervention guidance are invited to comment on the provisional recommendations via this website during a 9 week consultation with stakeholders.

Organisations not registered as stakeholders are not able to comment. For further information about how your organisation can become a stakeholder, go to the stakeholder registration page.

Please note - the provisional recommendations presented here do not constitute NICE formal guidance on this topic. The recommendations are provisional and may change after consultation.

This consultation will take place between 17 November 2010 and 19 January 2011

The draft guidance sets out the provisional recommendations that have been developed.

Points to consider in the consultation

• Points or areas that are not covered, but which appear to fall within the scope of the guidance.
• Potential inconsistencies or any disagreement with the Programme Development Group’s interpretation of the evidence and its applicability.
• The practical value of the provisional recommendations.
• Issues of presentation and style, including how the provisional recommendations have been grouped and ordered.
• Whether the right organisations and individuals have been identified under ‘Who should take action’ for each recommendation.
• Do you think this guidance could be improved to better promote equality of opportunity relating to age, disability, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion and belief, sexual orientation or socio-economic status? If so,  please include details of:
• Which particular parts of the guidance you think affect equality of opportunity.
• Why and how you think equality of opportunity is affected.
• In addition are there are reasons why any of the recommendations in the guidance may result an increase in inequality of opportunity relating to age, disability, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion and belief, sexual orientation or socio-economic status?
