Research Summary

'Improving management of Type 1 diabetes in the UK: the DAFNE programme as a research test-bed' The DAFNE programme is the only UK structured diabetes education course demonstrating positive biomedical and psychosocial outcomes in an RCT and is also quality assured. It provides a unique test-bed to conduct research not only to improve Type 1 diabetes management but also to learn more about educational interventions in diabetes and long-term conditions more generally. The 2 themes of our programme are utilising a team of clinicians, social scientists and patients to 1) develop and improve a complex educational intervention in diabetes by identifying patient characteristics and course components which determine success and 'failure'. 2) use an effective, quality assured intervention to evaluate the benefit of new 'treatments'.
