Structured education: Key Criteria
to fulfil NICE requirements
•
•
•
•
•
Patient centred philosophy
Structured, written curriculum
Trained educators
Quality assurance
Audit
NICE Diabetes Quality Standard 1:
People with diabetes and/or their carers receive a structured
education programme that fulfils the nationally agreed criteria
from the time of diagnosis, with annual review and access to
ongoing education
Type 1 diabetes
• 90+ centres run DAFNE (1 week course)
– Based on Berger 5 day programme
• 90+ centres run local programmes
– majority using 4 x weekly format (eg BERTIE)
– 20 using other formats (1 to 6 sessions)
– Specific programmes for newly diagnosed and for
pump therapy
• paediatric / adolescent programmes

Improvement in PAID scores
Weight neutral
Reduction in HbA1c: 0-0.5%
– Less than seen in Germany
Type 2 diabetes
• X-Pert
• DESMOND
• local programmes
X-Pert
• Six 2-hour weekly sessions
• New and established type 2 diabetes
• RCT:
– HbA1c reduction 0.7% (no change in controls)
– 0.5kg weight loss
– Less medications

DESMOND RCT results
• 6 hours (in 1 or 2 sessions) of group education within 12 weeks of
diagnosis
• Philosophy of patient empowerment
• At one year:
–

–
–
HbA1c reduced from 8.4 to 6.8% (NS vs control)
Reduced body weight (3 vs 1.9 kg)
Fewer smokers (14 to 11% vs no change)
Reduced 10 year cardiovascular risk (10.9 vs 13.6%)
• At three years:
– No difference in any biomedical or lifestyle outcomes

Summary of outcomes
• Type 1 education
– Reduction in hypoglycaemia and DKA
– Improvement in PAID scores
– Small reduction in HbA1c
• Type 2 education
– Reduction in HbA1c following diagnosis
– As good as 3 dietitian visits in UKPDS
Outcomes that matter
Diabetes UK 2012:
Between 2006 and 2010, there has been
an increase in unnecessary complications:
•
•
•
•
retinopathy
stroke
kidney failure
amputations
increased by 118%
87%
56%
26%
Outcomes that matter
National Diabetes Audit 2011
• Mortality 1.6 times higher (type 2) and
2.6 x higher (type1) than general
population
• 9 times higher in young women with
type 1 diabetes
Impact of structured education?
National Diabetes Audit 2011
Attended structured education:
• 1.55% newly diagnosed type 1
• 3.57% newly diagnosed type 2
Summary
• Type 1 education has improved selfmanagement skills with important benefits to
some patients – but HbA1c and hence risk of
complications remains high
• Type 2 education at diagnosis is no better than
achieved in UKPDS
• The provision and uptake of education is too
small to make a difference at national level
• Ongoing education is virtually non-existent
Conclusion
• Structured diabetes education has made
little difference to patient outcomes
