Think Glucose

Welcome to the website for ThinkGlucose

ThinkGlucose is a major new programme from the NHS Institute, designed to improve the management of people with diabetes when they are admitted to hospital.

The number of people with diabetes is steadily increasing, but the provision of consistent, effective and proactive inpatient care for people with diabetes is still inadequate. ThinkGlucose has been developed to provide a package of tried and tested products, learning and support to improve awareness and remove the obstacles to the treatment of patients with diabetes as a secondary diagnosis.

Toolkit

The ThinkGlucose toolkit will enable the Implementation of a clinical pathway to improve the patient experience and the quality of their care, thereby reducing the length of stay and releasing more time to treat the increasing numbers of people with diabetes.
