To ask the Scottish Government what it has done to support improvements in care and outcomes for adults with type 1 diabetes.

As part of the Scottish Diabetes Group, we have a Type 1 Sub-Group, focussing on improving care for people with Type 1 diabetes. The group has been focused on strategies for prevention of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and improving access to technology.

We are currently working with the Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) on a project which would support the roll-out of diabetes technologies across Scotland. There is now robust evidence on the benefits of Closed Loop Systems on glycaemic control for individuals with Type One Diabetes, and this will be one of the first innovations to be considered for the ANIA pathway

The Scottish Diabetes Education Advisory Group (SDEAG) has established a short life working group which is currently developing a ‘Once for Scotland’ education pathway to ensure that everyone diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes is able to access appropriate and timely education.

To ask the Scottish Government what work it has done with partner agencies to support improvements in out-of-hours care for people with diabetes.

As part of the Scottish Diabetes Group, we have multiple sub-groups focusing on projects related to unscheduled and emergency care. Many of the commitments within the Diabetes Improvement Plan will have secondary outcome measures aiming to reduce attendances at A&E and out of hours care. Measures are continuously being developed as we utilise data within the diabetes dashboard. The Scottish Diabetes Group continues to review these projects to ensure we are always targeting the most appropriate stages of the pathway.
