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.
For our final ABCD Inspire podcast of 2024 we are thrilled to have our very own ABCD Executive Chair, Professor Ketan Dhatariya, joining our podcast host Dr Petra Hanson.
What have we learned from the large national and international real world data sets over the last 15 years and in particular what are we still learning? How can you contribute and what is the benefit to you of you contributing? What are the ambitions of ABCD for the audit programme over the next two years?

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended that HCL technology should be rolled-out in a phased implementation, over the next 5 years, to thousands of patients.
The first phase of the roll-out to NHS integrated care systems began in April 2024. All patients have been advised to continue to attend appointments as normal and discuss options with their diabetes team.
To support HCPs, we've brought together a range of resources to support your patients with this life changing technology.
