DIABETES WATCH
Diabetes UK is committed to ensuring that people with diabetes receive high-quality care wherever they live, and that they know what care to expect. Diabetes Watch is the method by which we will hold health services to account.
We will shine a light on the very best services, identifying examples of excellent care, and identify those areas where more needs to be done to ensure people with diabetes are provided with the essential care they need and expect.
Diabetes – what care should you receive?
We use the 15 healthcare essentials care standards set out by NICE and NHS Quality Improvement as the starting point. These include:
- blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol checks
- monitoring of eyes, kidney function, legs, feet and weight
- individual care planning, smoking cessation advice, emotional and psychological support
- guidance on accessing specialist care and education courses.
