About the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme
NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is part of the national programme which identifies people with Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia (NDH) and at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, referring them on to a behaviour change programme
The NHS DPP is a joint commitment from NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK
The Healthier You DPP delivers both a face to face and digital service that enables participants to engage in 13 core curriculum themes, personalised to them, with each and every touchpoint being tailored to NDH and the benefits of risk reduction of developing Type 2 Diabetes
Coventry and Warwickshire STP has a new provider Xyla Health & Wellbeing from July 2022 offering the DPP to all self referring patients and practices who wish to refer their eligible NDH population into the programme.
As a GP or health professional, you will already be aware that the risk of Type 2 diabetes is significantly reduced if your patients make positive changes to their diet, weight and the amount of physical activity they do
Your local Healthier You service can support your patients in taking action in all of these areas
Taking this kind of action now is very important as it can reduce your patients’ risk of, or even stop the development of, the very serious health condition of Type 2 diabetes

- If history of Gestational Diabetes (GDM), they are eligible without the need for a blood test (GDM diagnosis must be indicated under the ‘Referral Information’ section)
- Not have type 2 diabetes – if a reading is in the diabetic range (HbA1c ≥48 or FPG ≥7), the individual is not eligible. If two blood test readings are provided on the referral and one is in the diabetic range, you will be asked to confirm the patient is not being treated as diabetic
- No medical reason why the patient should not take part in a programme that includes light-moderate physical activity

- Not had bariatric surgery in the last 2 years even if the surgery has been reversed
- Not moderately or severely frail
- The patient must be informed that their data is being shared with Xyla, and so the GP statement will reflect this consent to share information. There is no additional funding to support GP referral activity
