The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has launched a national pre-diabetes screening initiative, deploying mobile clinics in underserved and high-risk communities.
The campaign includes free HbA1c tests, dietary counselling, and subsidized exercise memberships. Early trials in Birmingham have led to a 15% drop in pre-diabetic levels within six months.
Experts in Bangladesh and Nepal are evaluating the campaign’s impact, as South Asia grapples with one of the fastest growing diabetes rates globally. Many health ministries are now exploring community screening rollouts.
