ALT T1DE is a serious and under recognised issue, with too many people being unable to access support. While we welcome the development of the NHS England T1DE pilot programmes and entirely agree with the report’s recommendations that these should continue and grow, we also recognise that for many people with T1DE and their families that making the decision to access treatment is difficult and that there are many barriers to achieving this. We also believe that the best treatment for T1DE is prevention, and that this is best achieved through the development of the diabetes psychology workforce and research, and the integration of specialist psychologists into diabetes teams. We thank all the witnesses, particularly those with lived experience for their powerful testimony, and we send our best wishes to all those who have lost loved ones to T1DE.

ALT Research poster recruiting adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who would like to learn ways of reducing shame and self-criticism. The research is exploring whether Compassionate Mind Training can help reduce experiences of shame and self-criticism. It is an intervention where you could be allocated to one of two groups, intervention or control, to access Compassionate Mind Training. To take part, you must be above 18 years old, have had your type 1 or type 2 diabetes diagnosis for at least a year, not be currently accessing psychological therapy, not be experiencing mental health distress, self-harm or suicidal ideation and you must have access to the internet. The benefit of taking part is that you will have access to a compassionate mind training package and you can enter a prize draw to win one of four £25 vouchers.
