An evaluation of the Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) pilot project

A pilot project, developed by Bradford and Airedale Teaching PCT was designed to identify patients within general practice with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and refer them to public health advisor who could provide support and individually tailored weight management programme over a period of one year. The aim of the IGT project was to prevent progression of IGT to the more serious condition of type 2 diabetes. Six general practices in Bradford and Airedale were involved in referring their clients into the pilot IGT project. This report details the methods and findings for an evaluation undertaken by the Centre for Health Promotion Research at Leeds Metropolitan University. A discussion of evidence and recommendations about the nature and future direction of the pilot project are made in the final sections 5 and 6 respectively.
