    Hybrid closed loop system roll out 6 months on: challenges and lessons learnt
    In this presentation, we’ll explore the journey of rolling out the hybrid closed-loop system within Leicester's Type 1 diabetes community, focusing on how we expanded the pump service through an innovative approach using community centres to deliver group starts. By leveraging multidisciplinary team, we were able to onboard larger patient groups, ensuring safety while maximising efficiency. We'll dive into the local initiatives aimed at upskilling our workforce to meet the growing demands of diabetes care and share valuable lessons learnt from the challenges we faced along the way. You’ll also hear how peer support played a vital role in improving patient wellbeing and safety. Alongside this, we’ll present key local statistics that highlight the positive outcomes for both patients and service delivery, demonstrating the impact and potential of this technology-driven transformation in diabetes care.

    Person centred approach in chronic conditions
    The aim of this interactive session is to understand the complexities of managing a chronic condition and why the person-centred approach should be used to support people to best manage their health. By examining our own behaviours, we can begin to understand why it is important to work with people living with chronic conditions and understand the context of their lives. Our decision whether to manage our health and how to manage it is not simply based on the knowledge that we should do it; by getting to know these individuals and understanding the challenges they face; we can work towards providing healthcare which is aligned to person’s needs.

    Type 2 Diabetes in people under 40 is a growing problem globally and England is no exception, meaning there is an ever-increasing challenge for the NHS. Early onset type 2 diabetes is more aggressive than later onset type 2 diabetes and is more prevalent in people living within deprived areas and individuals from minority ethnic groups. Defined as a serious disease by medical experts, early onset type diabetes is associated with premature mortality, worse long-term health outcomes, and higher risk of diabetes-related health complications, such as sight loss, kidney failure, amputation, heart attacks and strokes. Hear the results of a qualitative study exploring early onset type 2, how it affects people’s lives and what support they need from their healthcare professionals – and also hear more detail about the T2DAY programme, a world first care initiative that has been launched by NHS England to improve care for people aged 18-39 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

    Both T2 Diabetes and hypertension are often asymptomatic, silent killers. More than three quarters of those affected by diabetes also have raised blood pressure(1) and both conditions are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. In a way it should be no surprise that both conditions seem to share some common causes. It has been known since 1933 that insulin causes renal sodium retention(2). I will describe how this may affect blood pressure and how a low carbohydrate diet has been shown to help both conditions(3). Learn how it is that avoiding foods that put up blood sugar may improve not just diabetic control but also blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors like weight and lipid profiles. Its important to know the contribution that starchy foods like bread and rice make to the glycaemic burden in our diet(4) Learn how one NHS practice has achieved drug free T2Diabetes remission for a quarter of all its diabetic register(5). and made drug budget savings

    What a difference a day makes - The importance of 24 hour physical behaviours in diabetes and cardiovascular management
    Lifestyle modifications are important components in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, national and international guidelines have tended to place the emphasis on diabetes medicine(s). For the first time, the latest American Diabetes Association/European Association for The Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD) consensus guidelines on the management of hyperglycaemia have broken with tradition by incorporating a growing body of evidence linking health outcomes associated with type 2 diabetes to the movement behaviour composition over the whole, 24-hr day. In this context, a 24-hr day comprises a sequence of movement behaviours distributed on a continuum ranging from limited/no movement to high-intensity activities. The five S’s (sleep, sitting, stepping, sweating and strengthening) encapsulate these physical behaviours and their inclusion represents an important milestone in bridging the gap between current knowledge around 24-hr behaviours and the management of diabetes and
