“…We present the first audit against the 2010 Diabetes UK care home guidelines. Consistent with previous evaluations of diabetes in care homes [3], we found evidence of good care, including the monitoring of weight, BMI and blood pressure, and screening for foot ulceration. Retinal screening coverage remains high, although only 42% of residents were screened by a retinal eye screening service, which is the Diabetes UK recommendation.…”

“…Levels of glucose monitoring were high (nearly 80%) and similar to those reported in the previous study [3]. Glucose monitoring was in place for all residents who received insulin treatment ( n = 8), but there was evidence that blood glucose was monitored unnecessarily.…”

“…Staffing level overnight was minimal; meaning the nurse on duty managed diabetic emergencies alone. The majority of residents (90%) were seen by a chiropodist in the past year; however, this was a little lower than reported in the previous study (97%) [3].…”

“…Since the publication of the original 1999 British Diabetic Association document [10], a further nine studies have been published, which shed additional light on the characteristics of the care home populations of residents with diabetes [3,6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Their findings have been incorporated in the key messages section and in the major recommendations of the full guidelines.…”

A Task and Finish Group of Diabetes UK was convened over 14 months to undertake a systematic review of the original 1999 British Diabetic Association guidance on care home diabetes, incorporate new research findings and produce a set of recommendations that are evidenced-based, practical and implementable within UK care home settings. The anticipation of Diabetes UK is that these guidelines will represent a national policy of good clinical practice for diabetes care within care homes. This executive summary demonstrates how the full guidelines should provide a framework of assessment of the quality of diabetes care within care homes, for use by regulatory bodies who have responsibility for this provision of diabetes care. This document is primarily based on recommendations for adults living within British care home environments and its focus, by virtue of the nature and characteristics of residents, is on older adults. Improvements in diabetes care within residential and nursing homes are likely to follow a sustained commitment by health and social care professionals to ensure that the well-being of residents with diabetes is paramount, that high-quality policies of diabetes care are implemented and monitored and effective diabetes education is a mandatory and integral part of care home staff training.Diabet.
