Few centres in the UK within adult and paediatric diabetes units adopt digital technology, telemedicine or social media within their services. Perhaps this is due to both lack of investments and to some extent clinical leadership to champion and drive change. The 2018 Mary MacKinnon Diabetes UK lecture is aimed at showing how health outcomes, education and patient engagement can be significantly improved using novel digital and technology strategies as effective means of driving change and delivering good quality of care within a paediatric diabetes service.
