News from the APPG for Diabetes
APPG for Diabetes Meeting on the Childhood Obesity PlanA meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes took place to discuss where the current Childhood Obesity Strategy has been effective and also ineffective. Speakers included were: NHS England highlights progress in commissioning local diabetes servicesNHS England has published the Clinical Commissioning Group Improvement and Assessment Framework (CCGIAF) results for local diabetes services in 2016/17. The Framework shows how local CCGs are performing against criteria across a number of therapeutic areas and rates CCGs accordingly. In 2016/17, 86 CCGs were rated good or outstanding for diabetes services, an increase of 26 on the previous year. Letter from NHS England - access to technology in Type 1 diabetesPlease see the communication received from NHS England in relation to their position and guidance for many topics regarding access to technology in Type 1 diabetes. ACCEA announcementPlease be aware that the 2018 Clinical Excellence Awards round will open on 13th February and close on the 12th April 2018. As before I will be happy to receive copies of your applications for national awards in order to rank them for ABCD support. The Royal College of Physicians require an early submission to them (closes 28th February) - if you wish their support please visit their website for detailed guidance on how to apply this year. My comments which are meant to be helpful are similar to last year: Freestyle Libre flash glucose monitoring - An update on commissioning in EnglandSince launching our guidelines on FreeStyle Libre (FSL) we have been encouraged that some areas have adopted FSL. Diabetes UK have developed a very useful map to track FSL policy decisions made across the country and it makes encouraging reading. TagsImportant information regarding the reformulation of Ribena BlackcurrantLucozade Ribena Suntory (LRS) have announced the important changes that will happen to Ribena blackcurrant in February 2018. This follows the changes made to Lucozade Energy in 2017. LRS are reducing the sugar content of Ribena blackcurrant by 55% in both the squash and ready to drink bottles. These changes may impact those with diabetes that use Ribena blackcurrant to manage their low blood sugar levels, during an episode of hypoglycaemia.
