To enable community teams in England to manage the increasing demand for this service, suitably trained health and social care workers (HCWs), including health and care support workers and healthcare assistants, could administer insulin to those adults whose diabetes is stable.

This initiative will be welcomed as qualified community nurses struggle to visit all their people with diabetes who need insulin injections as part of their care especially during this pandemic where nurses are too suffering from the infection.
