The
well-being and treatment satisfaction of diabetic patients in
primary care |
| |
Individualized care of patients with diabetes
should consider improving the quality of life. Psychosocial support
should be provided to the patients with type 2 diabetes and the
negative effects of psychopathological conditions on the metabolic
control should be lessened (Health and Quality of Life Outcomes) |

Estimation
of primary care treatment costs and treatment efficacy for people
with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in the United Kingdom from 1997
to 2007 |
| |
Over the 10 year period to 2007, diabetes-related
primary care adjusted costs increased considerably, whereas glycated
haemoglobin values did not improve at all over the same period

Health
Information Seeking, Receipt, and Use in Diabetes Self-Management |
| |
Patients make decisions about diabetes self-management
depending on their current needs, seeking and incorporating diverse
information sources not traditionally viewed as providing health
information. Based on our findings, we have developed a new health
information model that reflects both the nonlinear nature of health
information-seeking behavior and the interplay of both active information
seeking and passive receipt of information (Annals of Family Medicine) |

Cardiovascular
events during differing hypertension therapies in patients with
diabetes |
| |
In patients with diabetes and hypertension,
combining a renin-angiotensin system blocker with amlodipine, compared
with hydrochlorothiazide, was superior in reducing cardiovascular
events and could influence future management of hypertension in
patients with diabetes (PubMed) |

'Glycaemic
variability': a new therapeutic challenge in diabetes and the
critical care setting |
| |
Fluctuating glucose levels produce an increase
in free radicals as well as endothelial dysfunction, and that these
changes are greater than those produced by stable high glucose.
Avoiding glucose fluctuations in diabetic patients and in crtically
ill patients seems to be an emerging therapeutic challenge (Diabetic
Medicine) |

Impact
of HbA1c screening criterion on the diagnosis of pre-diabetes
among US adults |

Using HbA1c as the pre-diabetes criterion would
reclassify the pre-diabetes diagnosis of nearly 50 million Americans

Texting,

Testing whether inner-city diabetics, an especially
hard-to-treat population, might better control their blood sugar — and thus save Medicaid dollars — by tracking their disease using Internet-connected cellphones, provided with
reduced monthly rates as long as they regularly comply (USA Today) |
