It has been an incredible partnership- between @NHSEngland @NICEComms patient charities such as @BT1DUK @DiabetesUK, many clinical colleagues and Industry to enable this progress to happen. One of the greatest joys of my life has been to see the stories emerge on impact on lives with #T1Diabetes We are now at approximately 75% of all children (ages 0-18) now on the Hybrid Closed Loop system. With new funding via @DHSCgovuk (from 2026 to 2029) to the tune of approximately 350 million £? The spread into adults is just around the corner! Thank you @NICEComms for this lovely lived experience story! @DSNforumUK @ABCDiab @DTN_UK @wesstreeting #gbdoc
For Aleix, type 1 diabetes meant constant calculations and saying no to life. A hybrid closed loop device changed everything: less worry, better sleep, more freedom. Developing or adopting healthtech? Explore support nice.org.uk/what-nice-does/o… #BackingTheHealthtechThatChangesLives
