Integrated Diabetes Intervention
The Integrated Diabetes Intervention in Tingbjerg (IDIT) project was implemented from 2022-2024. IDIT carried out health promotion activities in the local community, offered targeted diabetes screening, referred for rehabilitation and offered follow-up in local communities (see Figure 1).
Through co-creation in the partnership, a support structure for vulnerable citizens was developed, which supported the three overall initiatives in the form of health promotion and prevention, detection and treatment and rehabilitation. The support structure thus formed the framework for the activities to be delivered in a good and relevant way for the residents of Tingbjerg. This consisted of four central elements: an active citizen panel, a strong diabetes network, close cooperation with associations and a professional support system that offers hand-held support to citizens in need (see Figure 2).
It is now possible to read IDIT's self-evaluation report here .

IDIT has shown that a cross-sectoral and holistic approach to diabetes intervention can create measurable health improvements in a vulnerable residential area like Tingbjerg. The strength of the project thus lies in the tailored support structure and the collaboration between local actors and citizens, which ensures ownership and relevance. The health economic results also emphasize the potential for significant savings in the healthcare system through early detection and targeted interventions.
Targeted detection in safe communities
IDIT's concept and approach showed very positive results; with a holistic community approach, it was possible to reach almost 1000 citizens and recruit 300 of them to undergo a risk test for diabetes. The detection of diabetes was targeted and thus resulted in two thirds of those tested being at high or very high risk, and almost a fifth of them being diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes.
They were offered a local rehabilitation program, which almost all accepted. Some of the identified citizens had already been diagnosed with diabetes, but lacked either insight into their disease or the energy to handle it. The project has thus not only identified these citizens, but also reached out and supported them in taking responsibility for their disease.
Local rehabilitation increases disease management
IDIT had a positive effect on the health and well-being of the residents. The residents who participated in the local rehabilitation program had achieved an average reduction in their long-term blood sugar of 4% over one year. Questionnaire surveys also showed improved physical and mental health and high satisfaction with the program among the participants.
Interviews med de borgere, der indgik i IDIT, fremhævede projektets meningsfuldhed og støtte i forhold til både sygdomsmestring og skabelsen af trygge fællesskaber, som mindsker ensomhed og styrker deres mulighed for at tage ansvar for egen sundhed. De professionelle aktører i IDIT pegede på vigtigheden af tæt samarbejde, fysisk tilstedeværelse og håndholdt støtte for at skabe tillid og fastholde borgernes deltagelse. Det sundhedsfremmende netværk spillede en central rolle ved at tilbyde et stabilt og trygt miljø, hvor vidensdeling og relationer styrkede borgernes engagement.
Potential for savings in the healthcare system
​
The total costs of IDIT were DKK 6,985 per citizen for health promotion, screening/risk testing and recruitment for rehabilitation, which is assessed as a sustainable investment in relation to the long-term health and economic benefits of early detection and intervention.
​
The experiences from IDIT are being translated into a model for Integrated Diabetes Intervention in Public Housing (IDAB), which is being tested in a three-year project from April 1, 2025.
