Résumé
Regional centres have smaller workforces in acute diabetes care compared to their metropolitan counterparts. A cross-sectional audit performed at Albury Hospital identified a high prevalence (34%) of diabetes for inpatients compared with metropolitan centres. The high prevalence highlights the need for all healthcare services to consider appropriate resources for the management of diabetes in people admitted to hospital.
