Lilly - November 2017 - Case Study 8

The diabetes team at Gartnavel Hospital, under a joint working Agreement with Lilly, investigated whether the treatment of inpatient hypoglycaemic episodes could be improved, and whether there were modifiable risk factors for recurrent hypoglycaemia that could be addressed by specialists.

Working together, Lilly and the diabetes team at Gartnavel Hospital concluded that proactive specialist advice triggered by remote review could reduce the burden of hypoglycaemia, but that therapy changes might be better made by a specialist team directly rather than just being advised.
