ABCD nationwide insulin degludec audit

About the ABCD nationwide degludec audit
This audit follows on from the success of the ABCD nationwide exenatide, liraglutide, exenatide QW, and dapagliflozin audits. With many older established insulins in common usage, it will be important to try to gain insight into degludec in real clinical practice by attempting to record the routine data on all patients treated with this new insulin, if possible, so that the most accurate picture of it can be obtained. By pooling the data nationally we will all learn more quickly from the shared experience. In clinical trials degludec was associated with less hypoglycaemia than other insulins and allowed for flexible dosing. There was less intra-subject variability than with glargine. Potentially therefore patients with very variable patterns of home blood glucose monitoring, particularly overnight and fasting, may benefit from a switch to insulin degludec. The audit may give insight into whether these potential advantages translate in real clinical practice. The tool will be hosted on a tool very similar to that used in the liraglutide audit and so those taking part in that audit will find it particularly easy. The audit will launch in conjunction with the Autumn ABCD meeting, November, 2014 and has a number of objectives.

Collect data on-line or via paper forms
The degludec on-line audit tool is so easy to use that live data entry in clinic is a real option to be considered. Otherwise to facilitate data collection during clinics there are two paper forms which exactly match the data that can be entered into the audit tool. You can download and print these forms locally or
order pre-printed data entry forms.

To download the forms to printout for use, use the following links:

Non ABCD members
Non ABCD members are welcome to take part in the audit and will be given access to the on-line audit tool when they register for the audit.
