Addressing inequalities in access and care in type 1 diabetes – The North-East London Type 1 Diabetes Transformation (NATALIE) project

Key Points

The aim is to address inequities in access and care for type 1 diabetes in a socioeconomically deprived area.
Assessed primary care access for individuals with type 1 diabetes
Implemented simple interventions to enhance care
Conducted focused clinical contacts with high-risk patients
30% of individuals with type 1 diabetes remained under primary care alone
Interventions improved care access by up to 10%
Focused clinical contacts reduced HbA1c by 10 mmol/mol

Abstract

In an area of high socioeconomic deprivation, the NATALIE project showed that an average of 30 % of people with type 1 diabetes are under primary care alone, and simple interventions improved this by up to 10 %. Furthermore, focused clinical contacts with high-risk people with T1D can reduce HbA1c by 10 mmol/mol.
