MODEL (Management Of Diabetes for ExceLlence) is a group of healthcare professionals calling for a higher ideal of diabetes care in England and Wales. Its report, published in May 2007, finds that while diabetes care is good in many aspects and regions, there are still significant gaps and shortcomings, particularly in the care of children and young people. The scale of growth of diabetes and its growing impact on healthcare costs indicate that a much more forward-looking approach is needed if the NHS is to meet future demands.

Key Words: diabetes care • health system
