Abstrakt: Since its inception, the Super Six model, first described in this Journal in 2012, has continued to evolve in response to real-world clinical data. In particular, the importance of achieving early tight glycaemic control in people with recent-onset type 2 diabetes and the negative effects of hypoglycaemia in older people have been highlighted. There are now plans to further evolve the Super Six model. The core of this "LEGACY" (Local Enhanced Glycaemic Action in Critical Years) approach would be to incorporate specialist and generalist healthcare professionals into regional hubs, with particular focus on these two patient groups and on young people with type 2 diabetes. In this article, the authors review the proposed changes and discuss their benefits and drawbacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
