Executive Summary
The introduction of population-based screening for type 2 diabetes cannot be recommended, says a recently published report from the Danish Centre for Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment (CEMTV). Claiming that there is no documented evidence that population-based screening improves prognosis - by reducing the risk of diabetic complications - the report says that there should instead be increased focus on clinical case detection in general practice.
