Management of adults with diabetes on dialysis - JBDS-IP national guidance (external link)

Management of adults with diabetes on dialysis - national guidance - by Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS-IP)

 

JBDS guidelines have been developed to advise on the care process for people with Diabetes currently under Hospital care.
The guideline recommendations have been developed and reviewed by a multidisciplinary team led by the Joint British Diabetes Society (JBDS) and including representation from Primary Care Diabetes Society and Diabetes UK. People with diabetes have been involved in the development of the guidelines via stakeholder events organised by Diabetes UK.
It is intended that the guideline will be useful to clinicians and service commissioners in planning, organising and delivering high quality diabetes care. There remains, however, an individual responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstance of the individual, informed by them and/or their guardian or carer and taking full account of their medical condition and treatment.
When implementing this guideline full account should be taken of the local context and in line with statutory obligations required of the organisation and individual. No part of the guideline should be interpreted in a way that would knowingly put staff, those with diabetes or anyone else at risk.
