The prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus is a global health care priority. We describe a programme of work, which developed a method for identifying those with non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia (a high risk group in which type 2 diabetes is preventable) in primary care and developed and tested a prevention programme suitable for delivery within the NHS . The subsequent implementation of this programme as part of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, which was launched in 2016, is then described. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons.
