The ABCD audit programme was prominent at the recent EASD in Madrid with three presentations.

In a short oral presentation, Dr Emma Wilmot presented data showing that in the ABCD NHS England pilot audit of hybrid closed loop therapy (HCL) which was launched in 2021, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, age or socioeconomic status HCL is associated with similar reduction in HbA1c at 6-months.

Diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication that requires standardised, high-quality care. Despite updates to the Joint British Diabetes Societies-Inpatient (JBDS-IP) guidelines in 2010, 2013, 2021, and 2023, research has shown significant variation in DKA care between patients. Traditional audits have fallen short in addressing this variation, which demands immediate attention.
