The Diabetes Update programme is a new initiative for trainees in diabetes and endocrinology. It aims to cover the diabetes section of the training curriculum for diabetes and endocrinology issued by the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board. It is also a great opportunity for more established clinicians to find out the latest updates in the area of diabetes.
ABCD has been working with the In-Patient Diabetes lead for Diabetes UK, Prof Gerry Rayman, and a group of Specialists in Diabetes to produce much needed guidance describing the maintenance and delivery of specialist diabetes services during COVID-19.
The document is intended for those involved in delivering and redesigning diabetes services in the light of this pandemic. It recognises the importance of maintaining certain elements of the diabetes service which will be essential in reducing the burden on hospitals and supporting inpatient teams.

Background
Hypoglycaemia is a common but potentially life-threatening complication in hospitalised patients with diabetes. Despite its clinical significance, there is a paucity of data on epidemiology, management and outcomes. The DEKODE-Hypoglycaemia initiative builds on the success of the DEKODE-DKA surveillance model, collecting multicentre, real-time data on hypoglycaemia. It aims to assess adherence to national Joint British Diabetes Society (JBDS) guidelines and drive quality improvement across NHS trusts.
Background
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State (HHS) is a severe, life-threatening complication of diabetes. Despite its severity, national data on its epidemiology, presentation and outcomes remains limited. The DEKODE-HHS initiative builds on the success of the DEKODE-DKA surveillance model, collecting multicentre, real-time data on HHS. It aims to improve assess adherence to national Joint British Diabetes Society (JBDS) guidelines, and support quality improvement.
