In common with all Hospital Diabetes Service, the majority of its work is outpatient activity, although the team also has access to beds for management of diabetic complications, particularly acute diabetic foot management, provides a referral service for inpatient care of patients with diabetes admitted under other specialties. In addition to new patient, follow-up, nurse screening and annual review clinics, the Department also provides joint diabetes antenatal service, joint diabetes complication clinics for nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy, paediatric and adolescent diabetic clinics, patient education programmes including DAFNE and a walk-in service. The department has a particular interest in intensive management of type 1 diabetes, and holds specialist intensive management clinics weekly with a particular emphasis on problematic hypoglycaemia. Intensive management is based around the DAFNE programme (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating) which provides structured education for patients in the form of a one week intensive course which is run at Kings once or twice a month. The department also provides a tertiary referral service for insulin pump therapy and currently manages over 200 insulin pump users. The Kings Diabetic Foot Clinic provides a comprehensive service for the management of the diabetic foot and has a very large caseload of complex patients with neuropathic and ischaemic ulceration and Charcot arthropathy.
