National Paediatric Diabetes Audit

We collect and analyse information on the care and outcomes of children and young people with diabetes teams in England, Wales, Jersey and Isle of Man, and publish an annual core dataset to drive quality improvement.

Published in March 2026, our latest report covers the health checks and outcomes for children and young people who attended paediatric diabetes units from April 2023 to March 2024.

There has been a sustained increase in caseload over recent years, but the completion of recommended health checks remains relatively high with continued long term improvement on median HbA1c. The use of diabetes technologies is on the increase, though uptake varies, and inequalities in outcomes by ethnicity and deprivation have narrowed slightly but remain present.
