Over 200,000 people in Wales, an estimated 8% of the adult population, are living with diabetes, of which around 90% have type 2 diabetes (Financial Planning & Delivery, 2024). There has been a 40% increase in the number of people living with diabetes in Wales over the last 10 years, an increase of 60,000 people (Public Health Wales, 2023). Type 2 diabetes is a serious, sometimes lifelong condition and is a leading cause of sight loss and a contributor to kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. Evidence suggests that by supporting people to make lifestyle changes, including eating healthily and being physically active, over half of type 2 diabetes cases could be prevented (NICE, 2017).
