  3. German Education Model In 1990’s Several UK centres visited Germany to see how the German diabetes education model worked. Their results demonstrated: • Improved hba1c • Reduced hypoglyceamia • This led to DAFNE and programmes for T2DM with strong evidence base

  4. Types of courses • T1DM • dafne & bertie • T2DM • desmond & Xpert

  5. UCLH • Have 408 patients DAFNE trained at UCLH. • 2014: have trained 35 and running 11 courses.

  6. RFH • Have 350 patients trained on Type 1 Course • 5 courses per year • Structured education course for patients on insulin pump therapy • 2 courses per year • 40 patients annually

  7. structured education courses What are they and how do they differ from one to one consultations? • Curriculum • Group effect and learning from peers • Cost effective

  9. RFH Audit 2012 • 140 patients audited • Around 40 patients complete course annually • 59% reduced HbA1c 6/12 post course average reduction 1.1% • 19% Had no significant change in HbA1c • Many patients referred to RFH with hypo unawareness
