Over 30 posters were presented from academic and medical departments, Fife and Tayside Health Boards and Fife and Dundee District Councils. Over 140 people attended the event which provided an opportunity to discuss the vision and aims of the SDHI.

The winning poster, called 'Sweet TalkText Messaging Support for Intensive Insulin Therapy for Young People with Diabetes' was prepared by:

'Sweet Talk' was developed in collaboration with the University of Dundee Applied Computing Department and Orange plc. It is a web-based text messaging system with an ability to deliver scheduled text messages based on individual patient profiling. It is currently being evaluated in a RCT investigating the adherence of young people with diabetes to intensive insulin therapy. The Project is sponsored by Diabetes UK.
