Useful Resources & Updates  

September 2024: ABHI Diabetes welcomes NHS England’s Request for Information on Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Pens. As diabetes technology advances, it is important to extend access to all people living with diabetes and provide options for insulin delivery and on-going condition management. This Group will work together to support any initiatives for access and implementation that may arise from this exercise.

“My experience of the ABHI diabetes group has been very valuable. As a new SME player in the market, it has been great to come together with the other players in the sector to understand our common pain points and goals. The group is well structured and run and I am sure is going to get better and better as we mature.”
