Memories make me smile- a reminder of how- even in the present #NHS - progress is possible 2 years ago-May 23? The query was whether #ClosedLoop can become standard care in #T1Diabetes Dec 23: NICE said "It should be" May 25: It is for ages 0-18 Onwards for the rest ๐Ÿ˜Š

A morning of shifting through data sets National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA) NDA across NHS England Since the roll out of #Technology from 2017 onwards? There isn't a single age group where HbA1c haven't improved. Not a single one Good to see data broken down into ICS, Trusts- variation
