ABCD are delighted to announce that the Diabetes Dragons' Den is running for a second year.

After a successful first year in 2023, entries are now open for this year's competition that aims to support innovative projects in the area of diabetes care.

Presented by Dr Bob Ryder at the ABCD Conference 2023

In our second ABCD Inspire Podcast, our host, Dr Petra Hanson, is joined by Professor Parth Narendran, who leads the Diabetes Research Unit and the Type 1 Diabetes clinical service at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.

Parth shares with us his updates on autoimmunity in diabetes, his current research projects, and when asked by Petra why he chose to get into research, Parth says "research for me has been a really exciting part of my life and has given me opportunities I wouldn't have had in other ways" - a conversation not be missed!

In our first ever ABCD Inspire Podcast, our host, Dr Petra Hanson, is joined by Dr Emma Wilmot, Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham, Consultant Diabetologist in Derby, and founder of the Diabetes Technology Network UK (DTN-UK).

Emma shares how her own personal circumstances and experiences inspired her journey into the field of diabetes, how that journey has progressed throughout her career and parenthood, the challenges that she has had to overcome trying to create a balanced lifestyle, and what exciting research projects she is currently focussed on.

The DTN committee are aware that questions have arisen since the inclusion of the Medtrum HCL system in the framework, provided by NHS Supply Chain, for the procurement of HCL systems to support the implementation of NICE TA 943. The committee has 4 key concerns regarding provision of the Medtrum hybrid closed loop system to people with type 1 diabetes in the UK:

NHS England piloted a Low Calorie Diet (LCD) programme, delivered through Total Diet Replacement (TDR) and behaviour change support via 1:1, group or digital delivery, to improve Type 2 Diabetes in adults with excess weight. The impact and implementation of this pilot required evaluation to inform longer-term commissioning decisions.

This event is currently full. However you can register now and get added to a waiting list. You will be notified if spaces become available.
