N2 - Aims The Tayside insulin management (TIM) course is an intensive insulin management programme for adults with type 1 diabetes. The aim was to assess its effectiveness. Methods Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) from individuals with type 1 diabetes were collected 3months before, and 6 and 24months after the programme. The programme involved a full day of education per week for 4weeks in a row. Quality of life was assessed using the standardised Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire completed both before and 3months after the course. Subjects were also asked to complete a pre- and postcourse questionnaire gathering information about aspects of their diabetes management. In addition, individual satisfaction with course content and delivery was recorded. Results Participants had a median reduction in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 4mmol/mol (0.4%) after 6months and 5mmol/mol (0.5%) 2years after the course (p
