What is DP-Next?
DP-Next stands for Sustainable Type 2 Diabetes Prevention for the 21st Century. It is a research project conducted in collaboration between all seven Steno Diabetes Centres in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
The aim of DP-Next is to improve early identification and prevention of type 2 diabetes. Today, we do not fully understand why some individuals with elevated blood sugar develop type 2 diabetes while others do not. DP-Next seeks to improve this understanding and develop more effective and sustainable prevention strategies.
The project combines:
- Questionnaire data on health, lifestyle, and wellbeing
- Information from national health registers
- A new clinical cohort with detailed health examinations
- Development and evaluation of new prevention strategies
The overall goal is to improve prevention of type 2 diabetes by identifying individuals at higher risk and developing more targeted and effective prevention approaches.
- Questionnaire Gives an overview of the questionnaire
- Clinical examination Gives an overview of the clinical examinations
