Post COVID-19 diebetes discharge pathway - risk stratification and follow up guidance for people being discharged from secondary care after COVID-19 infection

ABCD is very supportive of Diabetes UK's "This Is Diabetes Campaign" which  is launching today, the aim of the campaign is to create a connection to people with diabetes - to let them know that Diabetes UK is there for them and also to present Diabetes Care as a charity that recognises the reality of living with diabetes. The charity hope that more people will consider coming to them – for advice, support or to join in with the community of people who understand what it’s like to have diabetes.

Embarking on a career in medicine is both exciting and challenging, and a one-stop source of practical information is invaluable. The RCP works closely with all medical specialties and this unique day brings together that community to offer guidance and advice for trainees.

Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) is pleased to announce three further publications during September 2021 from its real-world audit of the FreeStyle Libre system (FSL), in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who use FSL.  In our previous publication in Diabetes Care, which we announced in July 2020, we found that FSL users showed significant improvements in glycaemic control, awareness of hypoglycaemia and were less likely to utilise healthcare resources.

The Joint British Diabetes Societies (JBDS) for Inpatient Care group was created in 2008 to ‘deliver a set of diabetes inpatient guidelines and proposed standards of care within secondary care organisations’, with the overall aim of improving inpatient diabetes care through the development and use of high quality evidence based guidelines, and through better inpatient care pathways.

We are inviting colleagues to submit entries to this year’s competition which will be:

‘The Rowan Hillson Inpatient Safety Award – The best interventions: Redesigning, rebuilding and maintaining safe inpatient diabetes care during COVID’
