The NICE clinical guideline on type 1 diabetes covers the NHS care that should be available to adults with type 1 diabetes. It includes recommendations on how the diagnosis should be made and the options that should be offered at different times.

The guideline also makes recommendations about the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children and young people and about the care that should be available for them. It also covers the transition to adult care.

Responsibility for undertaking a review of this guidance at the designated review date has passed to the National Clinical Guidelines Centre for Acute and Chronic Conditions (NCGC-ACC) The National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions is no longer active.

We have updated our guidance on screening for other conditions in children and young people with type 1 diabetes; we have removed the recommendation to re-test for coeliac disease at least every 3 years after diagnosis. This update follows the development of ‘Coeliac disease: recognition and assessment of coeliac disease’ (NICE clinical guideline 86, 2009).
