A Task and Finish Group of Diabetes UK was convened over 14 months to undertake a systematic review of the original 1999 British Diabetic Association guidance on care home diabetes, incorporate new research findings and produce a set of recommendations that are evidenced-based, practical and implementable within UK care home settings. The anticipation of Diabetes UK is that these guidelines will represent a national policy of good clinical practice for diabetes care within care homes. This executive summary demonstrates how the full guidelines should provide a framework of assessment of the quality of diabetes care within care homes, for use by regulatory bodies who have responsibility for this provision of diabetes care. This document is primarily based on recommendations for adults living within British care home environments and its focus, by virtue of the nature and characteristics of residents, is on older adults. Improvements in diabetes care within residential and nursing homes are likely to follow a sustained commitment by health and social care professionals to ensure that the well-being of residents with diabetes is paramount, that high-quality policies of diabetes care are implemented and monitored and effective diabetes education is a mandatory and integral part of care home staff training.
英国糖尿病协会的一个任务和完成小组召开了为期 14 个月的会议，对英国糖尿病协会 1999 年关于护理院糖尿病护理的指南进行了系统回顾，纳入了新的研究结果，并提出了一系列基于证据、实用且可在英国护理院环境中实施的建议。英国糖尿病协会预计，这些指南将代表护理院中糖尿病护理的国家临床实践政策。本执行摘要展示了完整的指南如何为护理院中糖尿病护理质量的评估提供一个框架，以供负责这一糖尿病护理提供的监管机构使用。本文件主要基于居住在英国护理院环境中的成年人的建议，其重点是老年人，因为居民的性质和特征使然。要改善居住和护理院中的糖尿病护理，卫生和社会保健专业人员需要持续承诺，确保患有糖尿病的居民的福祉是最重要的，实施高质量的糖尿病护理政策并对其进行监测，有效的糖尿病教育是护理院工作人员培训的强制性和组成部分。
