Wandworth Local Health and Care Plan - October 2019

24 Our work - Live Well Chronic Disease Management – Diabetes 4.2% of the population over 17 years are registered with diabetes against expected prevalence of 6% . An estimated 9.0% of people in Wandsworth are at increased risk of developing diabetes and every week 15 people are told they have diabetes. South Asian and black communities are two to four times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. Diabetics are more likely suffer from poor eyesight, kidney problems, knee problems and amputations. Prevalence is driven by demographics and related to lifestyle choices . 80% of cases of type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes. What we will do: Implement new models of care to: • Support for consistent care for diabetic and pre- diabetic patients across primary care. • Enable consultant deep-dives within primary care. • Provide additional clinical capacity in community settings to enable more patients to be supported closer to home. Education programmes: • Increase attendance at structured education programmes to improve patient confidence to self manage. • Provide extra capacity at evening and weekends to improve uptake.
