NICE has published a new impact report on diabetes.  This explores how NICE guidence has been implemented by the healthcare system and what progress has been made to improve outcomes for those with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes.

The final NICE medical technologies guidance on Neuropad for detecting preclinical diabetic peripheral neuropathy has been published.

You can find the guidance on the NICE website here: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/mtg38 

Feedback from the most successful Type 1 specialist services is now available from the National Diabetes Audit

The Type 1 diabetes resource platform has been launched by NHS England - a piece of work mostly done by those living with Type 1 diabetes - and aimed at being a platform of self management, links to peer support, etc.

We are delighted to announce that after a considerable amount of work over several months, the audit tool for the FreeStyle Libre is now live and can be accessed by people who have registered for the audit at the following link:

You will be aware that JBDS have launched an audit of the medical VRIII guideline to look into its safety and inform any possible changes for the second version. We have received 50 replies so far ( 5 audit forms from 10 trusts) and we would be grateful for as many entries as possible to make the analysis robust.

We have therefore extended the deadline to receipt of entries to 30^th September.
