[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1725972, member: 94045"] That will continue even after removal from the register providing the GP uses the correct code. The in remission code will ensure he stays on the list for eye screening. The Diabetes Resolved code may not. [URL]https://www.gp-update.co.uk/SM4/Mutable/Uploads/medialibrary/gp-update-handbook-au16-diabetes.pdf[/URL] Diabetes that ‘goes away’ Some people, given the diagnosis of diabetes, radically change their lifestyle, lose weight and their HbA1c drops out of the diabetic range. What do you do? There is little guidance on this, but bear the following in mind: • They are at high risk of ‘relapsing’ and becoming diabetic again – in our practice we do an annual HbA1c to look for this (and BP, cholesterol, etc.). • They continue to need retinal screening. In order to ensure they are called for this use the code ‘Diabetes in remission’ (C10P) NOT ‘Diabetes resolved’ (212H) as this latter code doesn’t trigger recall. Do note that ‘Diabetes in remission’ does NOT exempt them from QOF – but should they not be getting QOFstyle care anyway? (National Diabetes Retinal Screening Programme, 2014). [/QUOTE]
