Summary
People with diabetes account for one in three hospital inpatients, and this is projected to increase to one in five in the next few years. Often, people are in hospital for reasons other than their diabetes, so it is important that staff across all specialties understand the basics of diabetes care in order to ensure patient safety.
D1abasics is an innovative project that aims to equip all healthcare professionals to support the basic diabetes healthcare needs of their patients. Developed by the diabetes team at University Hospital Southampton with funding and support from the charity Diabetes UK, the campaign includes resources such as posters, lanyards and prompt cards. The diabetes team is supporting learning across the hospital by making visits to all wards and specialties to promote D1abasics.
