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.
Our Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM) on diabetes in school
Our online survey aims to capture the experiences of children and young people with diabetes in education settings, including nursery, school and home learning. It takes about 10 minutes and is open until 1 September.
Use our public, interactive 'dashboards' to view results on the NPDA key performance indicators. Our frequent reporting dashboard is updated quarterly, and our annual dashboard presents final results for the audit year.
