       What is the impact on patients, people who use services, carers,
       and public and/or population experience by having ThinkGlucose
       service for diabetes patients in place?
       Significant improvements in patient and carer experience are
       demonstrated, through patients’ reduced length of stay in
       secondary care.
       Dudley Group of Hospitals NHS Trust report: a reduction in
       average length of stay of 0.61 days, generating efficiencies for
       the trust of £422,000, in the first 8 months of the project a
       reduction in average length of stay of 0.41 days, generating
       efficiencies for the trust of £400,000, in the next 10 months of
       the project and patients being supported to self-administer
       insulin.
       Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust reported no additional
       incidents as a result of self-administration.
