Glycaemic control and mortality in older people with type 2 diabetes: The Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II

July 27th 2018

Tight glycaemic control may be hazardous in older people with type 2 diabetes when achieved with pharmacotherapy with metformin, and especially with insulin or sulphonylureas. These data confirm that overtreatment is likely to be an important clinical problems in this vulnerable population (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

A retrospective observational study of people with Type 1 diabetes with self‐reported severe hypoglycaemia reveals high level of ambulance attendance but low levels of therapy change and specialist intervention

June 7th 2018

We observed a high level of ambulance service intervention but surprisingly low levels of hypoglycaemia follow‐up, therapy change and specialist intervention in people self‐reporting severe hypoglycaemia. These results suggest there may be important gaps in care pathways for people with Type 1 diabetes self‐reporting severe hypoglycaemia (Diabetic Medicine)

Effectiveness of text message based, diabetes self management support programme (SMS4BG)

May 18th 2018

A tailored, text message based, self management support programme resulted in modest improvements in glycaemic control in adults with poorly controlled diabetes. Although the clinical significance of these results is unclear, the findings support further investigation into the use of SMS4BG and other text message based support for this patient population (BMJ)

Pathophysiology‐based phenotyping in type 2 diabetes: A clinical classification tool

April 26th 2018

Patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are a heterogeneous group. In the future, targeted treatment based on pathophysiological characteristics rather than the current “one size fits all” approach may improve patient prognosis (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)

Treatment Intensification in Type 2 Diabetes: A Real-World Study of 2-OAD Regimens, GLP-1 RAs, or Basal Insulin

April 25th 2018

Despite robust HbA1c lowering following treatment initiation, many patients did not achieve HbA1c < 7.0%. Basal insulin, generally prescribed for patients with high baseline HbA1c, was associated with a large reduction in HbA1c and with higher costs. Therapy intensification at an appropriate time could lead to clinical and economic benefits and should be investigated further (Diabetes Therapy)

Mean HbA1c, HbA1c variability, and mortality in people with diabetes aged 70 years and older: a retrospective cohort study

April 17th 2018

Both low and high levels of glycaemic control were associated with an increased mortality risk, and the level of variability also seems to be an important factor, suggesting that a stable glycaemic level in the middle range is associated with lower risk  (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)

How Does Diabetes Affect Daily Life? A Beyond-A1C Perspective on Unmet Needs

April 16th 2018

Patients across cultures and countries report negative experiences from diabetes, not only with regard to glycemia, but also regarding physical, emotional, social, and financial health metrics.

Cost-effectiveness of insulin pumps compared with multiple daily injections both provided with structured education for adults with type 1 diabetes

April 9th 2018

A health economic analysis of the Relative Effectiveness of Pumps over Structured Education (REPOSE) randomised controlled trial. Our analysis of the REPOSE data suggests that routine use of pumps in adults without an immediate clinical need for a pump, as identified by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, would not be cost-effective (BMJ Open)

Long-term outcomes associated with triple-goal achievement in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

April 6th 2018

Achievement of triple-goal was associated with better health outcomes among veterans with T2DM compared to those that did not, while LDL-C has more weight of influence. Multi-faceted treatment strategies targeting hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia may improve health outcome in veterans with T2DM (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Timing of Exercise Affects Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Treated with Metformin

March 29th 2018

Results suggest that timing of exercise is a modifiable factor influencing postexercise glycemic control and exercise at 30 minutes postbreakfast may be preferred in terms of lowering and stabilizing postprandial glucose levels in patients treated with metformin (Journal of Diabetes Research)
