Abstract
Little is known about the rates of prediabetes and diabetes in those over the age of 35 years in UK early intervention for psychosis (EIP) services. In this article, the authors discuss their retrospective case note service evaluation of patients within an NHS EIP service where they evaluate the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes in the‘over-35’ cohort, its monitoring and management.The ‘over-35’ cohort represented a third of the EIP caseload and is a high-risk group for prediabetes and diabetes. More research and innovative strategies are needed in terms of both lifestyle and pharmacological interventionsin this patient population to reduce the risk of developing, and improve management of type 2 diabetes.
