Low-dose
combination therapy with rosiglitazone and metformin to prevent
type 2 diabetes mellitus (CANOE trial) |
| |
Low-dose combination therapy with rosiglitazone
and metformin was highly effective in prevention of type 2 diabetes
in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, with little effect
on the clinically relevant adverse events of these two drugs (The

Diagnosing
diabetes using glycated haemoglobin A1c |
| |
Could have several advantages over traditional
diagnostic methods (BMJ) |
| |
|
|
Glycated
haemoglobin A1c for diagnosing diabetes in Chinese population:
cross sectional epidemiological survey |
| |
An HbA1c threshold of 6.3% was highly specific
for detecting undiagnosed diabetes in Chinese adults and had sensitivity
similar to that of using a fasting plasma glucose threshold of
7.0 mmol/l (BMJ) |

Assessment
of insulin resistance by a 13C glucose breath test: a new tool
for early diagnosis and follow-up of high-risk patients |
| |
The non-invasive real-time BreathID(R) GBT reliably
assesses changes in liver glucose metabolism, and the degree of
insulin resistance. It may serve as a non-invasive tool for early
diagnosis and follow up of patients in high-risk groups (Nutrition
Journal) |

Providing
diabetes patients with personalized written clinical information
in the diabetes outpatient clinic: a pilot study |
| |
Providing patients with personalized clinical
information in a routine clinical setting can increase patients'
involvement in the consultation without significantly increasing
the length of the consultation (Diabetic Medicine) |

A
multi-disciplinary education process related to the discharging
of children from hospital when the child has been diagnosed with
type 1 diabetes - a qualitative study |
| |
To achieve this, the paediatric diabetes specialist
nurse and the diabetes specialist paediatrician immediately and
deliberately start the process of educating the family using a
programme designed to give them the necessary knowledge and skills
they will need to manage their child's type 1 diabetes at home
(BMC Pediatrics) |

information on diabetes, why eye examinations are important, diabetic
retinopathy, treatment options and other ways in which diabetes
can affect the eyes (RNIB) |
