Parents
of children with diabetes forced to give up work |
| |
Half (46 per cent) of primary school pupils
with Type 1 diabetes, and a third (29 per cent) of their secondary
school counterparts, report their parents have had to reduce hours
or give up work to help them administer life-saving insulin injections,
according to a new report released by (Diabetes UK) |

Partnering
with Patients to Improve Therapeutic Outcomes |
| |
This article emphasizes the need for physicians
and other health care providers to partner with patients to achieve
therapeutic goals and presents a novel, multifaceted approach toward
improving the management of diabetes in a clinical practice setting

What
can the UK learn from the way patients with chronic disease are
managed in the US? |
| |
While the US was not as far ahead in the use
of technology as we expected, there was much we could learn from
it, and adapt and adopt in the UK (Healthcare at Home) |

Racial
Disparity in A1C Independent of Mean Blood Glucose in Children
With Type 1 Diabetes |
| |
Because of racial disparity in A1C, which is
independent of MBG, we recommend that A1C and MBG be used together
to make therapeutic decisions for children with diabetes (Diabetes
Care) |

The
estimated GFR, but not the stage of diabetic nephropathy graded
by the urinary albumin excretion, is associated with the carotid
intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus |
| |
Our study is the first report showing a relationship
between the carotid IMT and the renal parameters including eGFR
and the stages of diabetic nephropathy with a confirmed association
between the IMT and diabetic macroangiopathy (Cardiovascular Diabetology) |

A
review of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes: a focus on the
contribution of a dysfunctional eNOS |
| |
In this review, we focus on reviewing the literature
that provides insights into how an acute exposure to hyperglycemia
results in a dysregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase
function, the subsequent downstream effects of endothelial nitric
oxide synthase dysregulation, and the development of endothelial
dysfunction (Jounrnal of the American Society of Hypertension) |

Saxagliptin:
A New Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitor for Type 2 Diabetes |
| |
Saxagliptin is effective as monotherapy or add-on
therapy for the management of type 2 diabetes. Because saxagliptin
has a higher cost and reduces A1C and other surrogate markers of
glucose control to a lesser extent than other well-validated therapies,
such as metformin, saxagliptin should be reserved for patients
who fail or are intolerant of conventional treatments for type
2 diabetes (PubMed) |
