FOI confirmation:

Dear Requester

Thank you for your email.

We can see you have asked for information relating to Norwich CCG. To assist you further we can advise that we also process requests on behalf of North Norfolk CCG, South Norfolk CCG, West Norfolk CCG and Great Yarmouth & Waveney CCGs.

May we ask if you wish to request the same information for any of the above? Once clarified we can progress your request.

We have also attached a response on the same subject matter which you may find useful. Should the attached response answer your request in full or part please advise.

To which I responded:

Hi all,

Thank you for your response.

The attached response does answer most of my questions and I was looking for the same information for all of the CCGs listed.

There is one outstanding answer though for each of the CCGs, which was detailed in the original letter.

The NHSE policy does not stipulate how prescribing is to take place. Could you confirm how prescribing of Freestyle Libre sensors will be handled? It is most usual for sensor prescribing to be initiated by hospital teams with prescribing itself happening via primary care.

Thanks,

Nick

Abbott dX 2022 Barcelona - "Make it Count"

For the past four years I've been invited by Abbott to a conference bringing together people with diabetes from across Europe to discuss various topics. The first year I was meant to attend, it was my 'man v horse' year (the horse won!), so was unable to attend and then the pandemic hit so two further dX's were held virtually. I was fortunate to be asked to present at last year's session. This year's event was back in-person and held in Barcelona, coinciding with the latter part of the ATTD conference. At this point, I must make it very clear - Abbott invited me to the 2022 European Diabetes Exchange forum (dX), that took place in Barcelona. I attended this two-day event to connect and interact with inspirational and influential people in the diabetes community. Abbott paid for my ticket and accommodation. #InvitedbyAbbott. This is formal and it needs to be - I have not been required to do anything by Abbott as a result of my attendance and I hope that m

mmol/l to mg/dl and back again...Why's it 18 times?

I posted this around 10 years ago, but now I have a whole new set of followers, thought I'd post it again! Americans use mg/dl as the unit for measuring glucose levels. Most other countries use mmol/l. The relationship between the two is that 1mmol/l = 18mg/dl. I was interested to understand this relationship (as a former chemist) and also find out what it meant in practical terms. It is a bit sad, but here is my calculation: The unit mmol/l stands for milli-moles per litre. (or liter in the US). milli means a thousandth, so what is a mole (other than a small rodent-like animal)? A mole is that quantity of a substance whose mass in grams is the same as its formula weight (atomic weight). Each molecule of glucose has 6 Carbon atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms and 6 Oxygen atoms. A carbon atom weighs 12 units, a hydrogen atom weighs 1 unit and an oxygen atom weighs 16 units. These units are called relative atomic mass units (don't need to go into why). So the atomic weight of glucos
