Diabetes Prevention Programme: Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia, April 2025 to September 2025
Change to the audit period
Please note that from 2024-25, the audit period changed from a 15-month period to a 12-month period. For example, the 2023-24 audit period covered January 2023 to March 2024 whereas for 2024-25 the audit period covered April 2024 to March 2025. This means that figures for 2024-25 onwards should not be compared with figures from earlier audit periods.

Summary
This report presents the national audit findings, summarising registration and demographic information on people registered at GP Practices in England who have non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH). Also presented are the numbers of people recorded at GP practices as having been offered Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) behavioural change courses up to the end of September 2025, and the numbers that have declined, or not declined, to attend these courses. NDH involves blood glucose levels that are above normal levels, but not in the diabetic range.
The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) is a joint commitment from NHS England and Diabetes UK to deliver, at scale, evidence based behavioural interventions that can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes in adults who have been identified as having NDH.
This release includes data for Detained Estates. Detained Estates include prisons, young offender institutes, children's homes and immigration removal centres.
We are aware that some pathology laboratories were affected by HbA1c analyser issues in 2024/25 which may have resulted in higher HbA1c results that would otherwise have been expected. As a result this may have had an impact on the number of diagnoses of NDH.
The report is for England only.

Please note, the NDH dashboard is no longer being updated and was removed from the NDA dashboard hub on 31 August 2025.
NHS England are currently reviewing the routine production of NDA State of the Nation reports (including NDH). Please note that NDH data will still be released via standalone data files whilst this review is being conducted.
To help inform this review we would be grateful if users can provide feedback on their use of the State of the Nation reports using the feedback survey available in the ‘Related links' section of this page.
