Antihypertensive treatment and statins
This section looks at the treatment prescription patterns of young people with type 2 diabetes compared to older people with type 2 diabetes in 2021-22.
Prescription of antihypertensive treatment
- People with type 2 diabetes aged 19-25 and 26-39 years old were less likely to be prescribed antihypertensive treatment (e.g. 15.6% and 27.0% of females respectively) than older people (e.g. in females 56.2% of 40-59 year olds and 78.4% of 60-79 year olds). Although hypertension is less common at younger ages, it is notable that blood pressure treatment targets are less often achieved in under 40 year olds as a whole when compared to older age groups.
- Around a quarter of females aged 19-39 years old that might be planning pregnancy were prescribed antihypertensive treatment (26.0%).

Prescription of statins
- The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes who were prescribed statins increased with age, particularly from the age of 26. For example, in females the proportion rose from 21.1% of those aged 26-39 years old to 62.9% of those aged 40-59 years old to 79.2% of those aged 60-79 years old.
- The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes aged 26-39 years who were prescribed statins was 21.1% in females and 34.7% in males.
