Diagnosed diabetes prevalence across the four nations of the United Kingdom are taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) and represents all patients age 17 and older who have been diagnosed with diabetes and included on general practitioner registers.
In 2013/14, QOF showed that there were 3.3 million people aged 17 years and older with diagnosed diabetes with equals 6.2% of this age group. The break down by country can be found in the following table:

Public Health England’s diabetes prevalence model estimates total diabetes prevalence for England and for all local authorities and clinical commissioning groups in England. The model reflects the prevalence of diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed) and adjusts for the age, sex, ethnic group and deprivation pattern of the local population.
The estimated total diabetes prevalence using the diabetes prevalence model is 7.5% in England in 2014.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keith Vaz on 2014-06-30.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to ensure gender equality in civil service salaries.
Mr Francis Maude
The median gender pay gap for full-time civil servants has narrowed since 2010 but we must continue to press to narrow the gap further, including by reminding departments of their clear legal obligations on equal pay and conducting equal pay audits. Salaries for new appointments must be justified on the basis of the skills and experience necessary to do the job. For staff below the Senior Civil Service (SCS), this is for individual departments to manage. For the centrally-managed SCS, pay proposals have regard to the impact on women.
More widely, the Government is concerned that a long-standing majority of women in the overall civil service, does not translate into a similar proportion in the SCS. I have commissioned work to address this issue.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keith Vaz on 2015-02-11.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people were newly diagnosed with diabetes in 2013-14.
Jane Ellison
Figures for the number of people newly diagnosed with diabetes in 2013-14 are not yet available. The National Diabetes Audit for 2013-14, which will contain the information requested, is due to be published in late 2015.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keith Vaz on 2015-02-11.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to increase the number of people with diabetes receiving regular checks of their blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
Jane Ellison
Delivery of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended care processes for diabetes continues to be incentivised through the quality and outcomes framework. The latest data shows a 60% completion rate of all the 8 measurable NICE care processes, a 5% improvement on 2010.
The diabetes profiles, published by Public Health England, enable local clinical commissioning groups to compare their performance with others on controlling blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels and so identify where action needs to take place to improve.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keith Vaz on 2015-02-11.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people were diagnosed for the first time as obese in each year since 2010.
