Notes:

  1. The NDA does not hold comprehensive data on all children with diabetes.
  1. Latest National Health Service trusts and sites file (etrust) can be found at the following link:

https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/data-downloads/other-nhs-organisations

Not all NHS England Regions are represented in the data, as there were no specialist diabetes services from those regions that participated in the NDA 2016-17.

  1. Figures are based on people who appear in the 2016-17 NDA who are recorded as having started on an insulin pump in a calendar year between 2014 and 2016.
  1. Disclosure control has been applied to all figures, as per the NDA publication - all numbers are rounded to the nearest 5, unless the number is 1 to 7, in which case it is rounded to ‘5’.
  1. The NDA does not have insulin pump data from all specialist services.
  1. We do not know the year that every person in the collection started on pump therapy (known for 92% of people).
