Features Sugar 3

Sugar³ is an educational tool that supports children with type 1 diabetes within Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust's services.
Using both this app and our website, it forms part of the care pathway and provides accessible diabetes education.Our aims are to: improve diabetes education, support young people to self-care and stay healthy, encourage better disease management and avoid long-term complications.
Sugar³ supports the whole care journey and includes: educational videos and booklets; quizzes to test young people's knowledge; requests for face-to-face and Skype appointments; latest news; trackers and tools; and materials, support and links to further information.
It has been developed by diabetes nurse specialists and young people with the condition at all stages of the journey – including naming the project; the design, artwork and feel; procurement and the topics of education.
Sugar³ is currently only available to young people who are under the care of Pennine Care's diabetes services.
