My Diabetes My Way

Challenge/problem identified:
Diabetes is a growing health problem affecting 9% of the global population. Diabetes spending will consume around 17% of the NHS budget by 2025. People with diabetes only spend a few hours per year with healthcare professionals. The rest of the time they self manage. ePatient education, empowerment, feedback, motivation and flexible access to healthcare staff can reduce costly long-term complications, clinic visits, hospitalisations and death, allowing people to live longer and healthier lives with reduced care costs.
