After the FTP implementation, less cases of LR were reported in comparison to ER. ER was an independent predictor of positive outcomes such as healing, healing time, limb salvage, hospitalization, and survival (Acta Diabetologica)

From glucose lowering agents to disease/diabetes modifying drugs: a “SIMPLE” approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Early combination therapy with two and sometimes three of the DMDs (SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA) and metformin, and lower HbA1c targets (< 6.5%), may halt and even regress the pathological basis of diabetes and improve patient’s prognosis (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Diabetes and Frailty: An Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
We discuss the use of available glucose-lowering therapies in older adults and recommend simple glycaemic management algorithms according to their level of frailty (Diabetes Therapy )
Impact of COVID-19 on Health Economics and Technology of Diabetes Care: Use Cases of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Transform Health Care During a Global Pandemic
One critical and lasting consequence of the pandemic will be the accelerated adoption of digital technology in health care delivery. We conclude by discussing ways in which the changes wrought by COVID-19 from a health care, policy, and economics perspective can add value and are likely to endure postpandemic (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
The SWEET Project 10-Year Benchmarking in 19 Countries Worldwide Is Associated with Improved HbA1c and Increased Use of Diabetes Technology in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes
Twice yearly benchmarking within the SWEET registry was associated with significantly improved HbA1c on a background of increasing pump and sensor use for 10 years in young persons with T1D (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
The DAFNEplus programme for sustained type 1 diabetes self‐management: Intervention development using the Behaviour Change Wheel
This method provided a systematic approach to specifying and revising a behaviour change intervention incorporating stakeholder input. The revised DAFNEplus intervention aims to support the maintenance of behavioural changes by targeting barriers and enablers to sustaining self‐management behaviours (Diabetic Medicine)
Ready or not? Greater readiness for independent self‐care predicts better self‐management but not HbA1c in teens with type 1 diabetes
The current findings may point to a disconnect between how increased readiness for independent self‐care may translate into better perceived diabetes self‐management, but not into better HbA1c. In an effort to optimize HbA1c in teens with type 1 diabetes, future research is needed to design interventions that align perceived readiness for independent self‐care with self‐care behaviours that improve HbA1c (Diabetic Medicine)
Management of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in the hospital
In this Review, we summarise the evidence from observational studies and clinical trials focusing on inpatient care of people with diabetes and stress hyperglycaemia, including the use of insulin and non-insulin treatment strategies, treatment goals, and the application of new technologies in the hospital setting (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
What’s in a Name? Redefining Type 2 Diabetes Remission
This opinion piece explores existing definitions of diabetes remission and proposes a contemporary and comprehensive framework to help define this clinical state
Why diabetes outpatient clinics should not close during pandemic crises
We argue that healthcare services for people with chronic diseases, like diabetes outpatient clinics, should not shutdown totally or partially during pandemic crises, and keep serving fragile patients who are less resilient to these unprecedented stressful conditions (Journal of Endocrinological Investigation)
Effect of remote management on comprehensive management of diabetes mellitus during the COVID-19 epidemic
During the COVID-19 epidemic, diabetes treatment has been facing new challenges, and the traditional treatment mode is limited. Remote management can increase TIR without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Remote management can prevent weight gain and improve patients’ self-management and compliance during the COVID-19 epidemic (Primary Care Diabetes)
Short-term impact of COVID-19 lockdown on metabolic control of patients with well-controlled type 2 diabetes: a single-centre observational study
Lockdown determined a relevant short-term metabolic worsening in approximately one-fourth of previously well-controlled type 2 diabetic individuals; pre-lockdown triglycerides were the only parameter able to predict such derangement of glucose control (Acta Diabetologica)
Lifestyle Intervention With or Without Lay Volunteers to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes in People With Impaired Fasting Glucose and/or Nondiabetic Hyperglycemia
The Norfolk Diabetes Prevention lifestyle intervention reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes in current high-risk glycemic categories. Enhancing the intervention with DPM did not further reduce diabetes risk. These translatable results are relevant for current diabetes prevention efforts (JAMA)
A Collaborative OverView and Insight into Diabetes Services before and after the COVID-19 pandemic
This report is part of an initiative led by Lesley Mills (Nurse Consultant); the group included Diabetes Specialist Nurses and Practitioners, Consultants (ABCD, Diabetes UK)
Glucose management for exercise using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) systems in type 1 diabetes
Position statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) endorsed by JDRF and supported by the American Diabetes Association (Diabetologia)
Insights from VERIFY: Early Combination Therapy Provides Better Glycaemic Durability Than a Stepwise Approach in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes
The potential benefits of sustained and continuous disease control that early combination therapy offers represent the start of a new era in early diagnosis and intensive management, to achieve the treatment aims of type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Therapy)

Recommendations from an International Panel on Diabetes Digital Technologies Introduction (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Management of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults: A Consensus Statement From an International Expert Panel
General screening for LADA in newly diagnosed non–insulin-requiring diabetes and, importantly, that large randomized clinical trials are warranted (Diabetes Care)
Organisation of primary diabetes care in people with type 2 diabetes in relation to all-cause mortality: a nationwide register-based cohort study
This nationwide register-based cohort study suggests that the number of WTE GPs devoted to diabetes care have an impact on the risk of early death in people with T2DM (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
