Blood sugar in Huddersfield.

Huddersfield · Kirklees local authority · 2 cards

Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

Diabetes recorded by GPs in Kirklees, alongside a separate estimate of diagnosed and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Plain-English context

9.5% of patients aged 17 and over registered at GP practices in Kirklees had diagnosed diabetes in 2024/25. This includes both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A separate model estimates that 8.8% of residents aged 16 and over had type 2 diabetes, diagnosed or undiagnosed, in 2021. These figures use different years, ages, populations and diabetes types. Their difference is not a measure of undiagnosed diabetes. GP-register prevalence is not age-adjusted and depends on case-finding.
