Dr. Krish, a lot of diabetes gets dealt with by general practitioners in the community now. What sort of patients need to be referred into the hospital? Currently the incidence of type 1 diabetes is 10% in North West London and a lot of patients get mislabeled as type 2 when they actually have type 1 diabetes. NHS England has commissioned type 1 diabetes to be delivered purely in secondary care and they discourage for patients with type 1 diabetes whether they have been managed with injections, insulin pumps, CGMS sensors to be managed in primary care.
