BACKGROUND AND AIMS
The aims were to assess the multidisciplinary resources allocated to different paediatric departments treating diabetes in Norway and the relationship to key clinical outcome data. In 2007 The Norwegian Diabetes Association (NDA) recommended diabetes team resources per 100 children: one fulltime diabetes nurse educator, one fulltime consultant, one half-time dietician, psychologist in 40 % position and social worker in 20 % position. In this study, this recommendation is defined as a full multidisciplinary team.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Norway has a national surveillance childhood diabetes registry. Each year all patients perform a systematic examination according to WHO Basic Information Sheet. In 2007, 1853 patients from all 26 paediatric departments participated, comprising more then 85 % of all patients in the country (fig.1). HbA1c was measured in one central laboratory for all the patients. In a special entry sheet this data were registered:
1. Number of different professions in each diabetes team2. How the team was organized3. Number of children treated
A systematic, nationwide study of diabetes team resourcesin paediatric departments.
A general nationwide deficit in resources was detected. 11/26 departments treated > 100 children with diabetes. Only 36% (4 / 11) of these hospitals had a multidisciplinary diabetes team. 15/26 departments treated < 100 children with diabetes. 53% (8/15) of these hospitals had a diabetes team. (fig.2).A great variation in staffing was detected among the 26 hospitals. 4 (15%) departments had no dietician, 11 (42%) had no psychologist, 7 (27%) had no social worker. Only 12/26 (46%) of the departments had a multidisciplinary diabetes team according to the recommendation by NDA. Mean HbA1c from all hospitals was 8,4% (hospitals range 7,8-8,9). Only 33 % of the patients reach the HbA1c target of 7,5 %. However, no significant difference in HbA1c was found whether the centres had a defined diabetes team or not.

CONCLUSION
Less than half of the paediatric departments had a multidisciplinary diabetes team as recommended by the Norwegian diabetes Association. Lack of resources may contribute to that only one third of the patients reach treatment goals of blood glucose
control.
