Type 2 Diabetes in people under 40 is a growing problem globally and England is no exception, meaning there is an ever-increasing challenge for the NHS. Early onset type 2 diabetes is more aggressive than later onset type 2 diabetes and is more prevalent in people living within deprived areas and individuals from minority ethnic groups. Defined as a serious disease by medical experts, early onset type diabetes is associated with premature mortality, worse long-term health outcomes, and higher risk of diabetes-related health complications, such as sight loss, kidney failure, amputation, heart attacks and strokes. Hear the results of a qualitative study exploring early onset type 2, how it affects people’s lives and what support they need from their healthcare professionals – and also hear more detail about the T2DAY programme, a world first care initiative that has been launched by NHS England to improve care for people aged 18-39 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
An overview of the increasing incidence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in Lincolnshire and the changes to the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) to improve access for these patients.
A look into how Lincolnshire ICB and NDPP Provider (Xyla), are raising awareness of these issues, challenges faced, lessons learnt and resulting impact.
Lifestyle modifications are important components in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, national and international guidelines have tended to place the emphasis on diabetes medicine(s). For the first time, the latest American Diabetes Association/European Association for The Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD) consensus guidelines on the management of hyperglycaemia have broken with tradition by incorporating a growing body of evidence linking health outcomes associated with type 2 diabetes to the movement behaviour composition over the whole, 24-hr day.
In this context, a 24-hr day comprises a sequence of movement behaviours distributed on a continuum ranging from limited/no movement to high-intensity activities. The five S’s (sleep, sitting, stepping, sweating and strengthening) encapsulate these physical behaviours and their inclusion represents an important milestone in bridging the gap between current knowledge around 24-hr behaviours and the management of diabetes and
The aim of this interactive session is to understand the complexities of managing a chronic condition and why the person-centred approach should be used to support people to best manage their health.
By examining our own behaviours, we can begin to understand why it is important to work with people living with chronic conditions and understand the context of their lives. Our decision whether to manage our health and how to manage it is not simply based on the knowledge that we should do it; by getting to know these individuals and understanding the challenges they face; we can work towards providing healthcare which is aligned to person’s needs.
We are all experts in the clinical areas in which we work. We all care about the people we work with and we want them to make changes to improve their health. This session invites you to take a step back and reflect on, not just the content of a consultation but how we build relationships and how we share information with our patients. This session is informed by the current evidence from the field of Health Psychology and will include motivational approaches adapted from Motivational Interviewing.
The presentation will explore the necessity for good injection technique to ensure the medication being injected, such as insulin, has a beneficial effect on the person with diabetes. We will also look at some of the issues that can occur when poor injection technique is used.
This talk will aim to increase awareness of the issues relating to treating diabetes in elderly and often frail populations, especially with respect to the priorities of care the clinician should have and the drug regimens available including potential pitfalls.
In this presentation, we’ll explore the journey of rolling out the hybrid closed-loop system within Leicester's Type 1 diabetes community, focusing on how we expanded the pump service through an innovative approach using community centres to deliver group starts. By leveraging multidisciplinary team, we were able to onboard larger patient groups, ensuring safety while maximising efficiency. We'll dive into the local initiatives aimed at upskilling our workforce to meet the growing demands of diabetes care and share valuable lessons learnt from the challenges we faced along the way. You’ll also hear how peer support played a vital role in improving patient wellbeing and safety. Alongside this, we’ll present key local statistics that highlight the positive outcomes for both patients and service delivery, demonstrating the impact and potential of this technology-driven transformation in diabetes care.
Both T2 Diabetes and hypertension are often asymptomatic, silent killers. More than three quarters of those affected by diabetes also have raised blood pressure(1) and both conditions are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. In a way it should be no surprise that both conditions seem to share some common causes. It has been known since 1933 that insulin causes renal sodium retention(2). I will describe how this may affect blood pressure and how a low carbohydrate diet has been shown to help both conditions(3).
Learn how it is that avoiding foods that put up blood sugar may improve not just diabetic control but also blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors like weight and lipid profiles. Its important to know the contribution that starchy foods like bread and rice make to the glycaemic burden in our diet(4)
Learn how one NHS practice has achieved drug free T2Diabetes remission for a quarter of all its diabetic register(5). and made drug budget savings
This session will focus on a range of areas across the topics of Psychological Safety, Compassion, Culture and Civility, as it brings together experience and theory, for practical application to clinical care
With the new NICE TA for HCL people with type 1 diabetes will be wanting to start using these systems. But what about the effect of rapid improvement in glycaemic management on diabetic retinopathy? This session will cover what you need to know about the risks and what you should be thinking about before someone starts HCL
The Lifestyle Club was created three years ago by the charity Public Health Collaboration to scale up the low carbohydrate approach to type 2 diabetes remission.
