National Paediatric Diabetes Audit

We work with UK hospitals to measure the health outcomes and experiences of children with diabetes.

State of diabetes care

While there is variation in outcomes and care between hospitals, there have been national improvements in the numbers of children with diabetes achieving optimal diabetes management and in the provision of recommended health checks.
