LATEST ISSUE: Royal Mint strikes coin for discovery of insulin 100 years ago

Insulin gains currency as a limited edition coin from the Royal Mint bears reference to its discovery 100 years ago. We hear from the designer on how the imagery used came to her.

A key theme in this issue, and increasingly within diabetes care, is how people are achieving improved time in range (TIR). It’s a manner of attaining improved control through the use – mainly – of CGM (however it can be achieved through multiple blood tests too). Dexcom launches a campaign to help people with diabetes to improve their time in range, and use of Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre app has tracked how users have improved their TIR.

A thorough report by JDRF addresses the impact of Covid-19 on the care system, with a list of recommendations for the NHS diabetes care system going forward.

Plus, some fun and recognition of NHS diabetes teams up and down the land with awards given to teams in the Sanofi-sponsored Quality in Care Awards.
