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:
