National Diabetes Audit 2021-22, Type 1 Diabetes – Detailed Analysis Report

This is an overview of the treatment and demographics of 227,435 adults with type 1 diabetes. From 2019 to 2022 glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes in England and Wales improved while blood pressure control deteriorated. Use of diabetes technology (wearable glucose monitoring devices in England and insulin pumps in England and Wales) was associated with lower glucose levels. Diabetes technology was used less by those in the most deprived groups and in ethnic minorities. 30% of people with type 1 diabetes did not attend specialist care in 2021-22 and were less likely to receive annual checks or achieve treatment targets as recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
