Abstract

UK management and control of paediatric type 1 diabetes remains amongst the poorest in Europe. An integrated strategy being implemented in north-west England shows that the effective use of technology can improve the management of paediatric diabetes. The adoption of a diabetes information management system is helping the multidisciplinary diabetes team identify trends and tailor individualised patient solutions, while monthly audit and data analyses of patients' HbA_1c is enabling the easy identification of patients requiring intervention.
