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.
