Leading figures from the diabetes community debated the merits of the updated NICE guidelines published last year.

The new guidance represented “common sense” while criticisms were made about unrealistic targets during the exchange of views.

The ‘Individualising targets in diabetes: NICE or not NICE?’ discussion took place at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference in Glasgow on Thursday, March 3.

Professor Brian Frier, who is honorary professor of diabetes at the University of Edinburgh, Dr David Millar-Jones, a GP with a special interest in diabetes in Cwmbran, and Dr Partha Kar, a consultant in diabetes in Portsmouth, took part in the debate.

Diabetes blogger and The Diabetes Times contributor Laura Cleverly otherwise known as Ninjabetic also participated.

Excellent. Let's hope something comes of it. I liked Ninjabetic's comments.
