How can we make diabetes care safer from hospital to home?

Lance Alexander speaks with Dr Doddabele Srinivasa Deepak, Senior Consultant in Endocrinology at National University Hospital and Heng Boon Ling, Advanced Practice Nurse at NUH, about safer diabetes care - from managing blood sugar in hospital to preparing patients for recovery at home. How does NUH’s SPARK programme identify patients who need earlier intervention? What is HypoBox, and how does it help nurses respond quickly to hypoglycaemia, or low blood sugar? They also discuss diabetes medication safety and what patients and caregivers should understand before leaving hospital.
