t:slim X2 insulin pump for managing blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

The technology is intended to benefit people with type 1 diabetes. People who may not be able to manage their blood glucose using multiple daily insulin injections because of age, learning difficulties or other disabilities may also benefit from this device. There is no evidence for using the technology in pregnant women, people on dialysis and people who are critically ill. Users or their care partner must also have adequate vision or hearing to recognise device alerts. Age, disability, sex and pregnancy are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
