What this means

About 19,473 people registered with a GP in Bromley — 6.7% of patients aged 17 and over — have diagnosed diabetes. Most is type 2, which is closely tied to age, weight and family history.

95% confidence interval: 6.6–6.8 %. Source denominator: 289,396 patients registered at GP practices in the area (Persons, 17+ yrs); not necessarily residents and not a survey sample.

Fingertips flags Bromley lower than england (99.8% confidence). Register prevalence reflects population age and how thoroughly GPs test — not a health ranking.

Caveats

  • Includes type 1 and type 2 diabetes; it is not a type-2-only register. Undiagnosed cases are missing.
  • Not age-adjusted: younger places tend to show lower register prevalence.
  • QOF recording rules change over time — small trend moves may reflect coding, not health.
  • Patients are assigned by GP practice location, not necessarily residence. The selected local-authority feed is 2024/25; it is not the newer national QOF release.
  • Lower register prevalence is not automatically better — it can mean under-diagnosis.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
