Strategies to reduce insulin prescribing errors in UK hospitals: results from a national survey
There is potential to optimize the functionality of both electronic and paper‐based prescribing systems to improve the safe prescribing of insulin in hospitals in the UK (Diabetic Medicine)
Effectiveness of self‐management interventions in young adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Current self‐management interventions did not improve outcomes in young adults with diabetes. Our findings, which contrast with those from systematic reviews in older adults, highlight the need for the development of more effective interventions for young adults with diabetes (Diabetic Medicine)
The increased risk of microvascular complications in South Asians with type 1 diabetes is influenced by migration: results from the UK–India multi‐ethnic migration study
In this hypothesis‐generating study, we report that South Asian ethnicity is associated with greater risk of diabetic kidney disease and retinopathy, and lower risk of neuropathy than white European ethnicity (Diabetic Medicine)
Disparities in glycaemic control, monitoring, and treatment of type 2 diabetes in England: A retrospective cohort analysis
Our findings suggest that disparity in glycaemic control, diabetes-related monitoring, and prescription of newer therapies remains a challenge in diabetes care. Both SES and ethnicity were important determinants of inequality. Disparities in glycaemic control and other areas of care may lead to higher rates of complications and adverse outcomes for some groups (PLOS Medicine)
Early Outcomes From the English National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Program
Reductions in weight and HbA1c compare favorably with those reported in recent meta-analyses of pragmatic studies and suggest likely future reductions in participant type 2 diabetes incidence (Diabetes Care)
Hypoglycemic Confidence in the Partners of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
HC is an important facet of the experiences of T1D partners. It is related to, yet distinct from, hypoglycemic fear. The Partner-HCS is a reliable, valid method for assessing HC in partners of T1D adults (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Benefits and harms of intensive glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
Delivering evidence based, patient centered care to people with type 2 diabetes requires a paradigm shift and departure from the predominantly glucocentric view of diabetes management. Instead of prioritizing intensive glycemic control, the focus needs to be on ensuring access to adequate diabetes care (BMJ)
Patient-Centred Care in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus – Key Aspects of PDM-ProValue are reflected in the 2018 ADA/EASD Consensus Report
The decision cycle, investigated in PDM-ProValue and similarly recommended by the 2018 ADA/EASD consensus report, can benefit diabetes management in persons with type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Using telemedicine to support care for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a qualitative analysis of patients’ perspectives
Despite the potential benefits of telemedicine in the long-term care of diabetes, there are several perceived barriers that may limit the effectiveness of this technology. As such, collaboration between educators, healthcare providers, telecommunication service providers and patients are required to stimulate the adoption and the use of telemedicine (BMJ)
Factors associated with glycaemic control in adults with Type 1 diabetes: a registry‐based analysis including 7601 individuals from 34 centres in Norway
We present representative national data on factors that were associated with glycaemic control. A better understanding and awareness of these factors, together with technological advances in diabetes management, could lead to more personalized management strategies, better glycaemic control and a lower risk of diabetes complications (Diabetic Medicine)
Six-Month Randomized, Multicenter Trial of Closed-Loop Control in Type 1 Diabetes
In this 6-month trial involving patients with type 1 diabetes, the use of a closed-loop system was associated with a greater percentage of time spent in a target glycemic range than the use of a sensor-augmented insulin pump (NEJM)
Diabetic foot problems: prevention and management
NICE: In October 2019, we reviewed the evidence for antimicrobial prescribing for diabetic foot infections and updated the recommendations
Disparities in glycaemic control, monitoring, and treatment of type 2 diabetes in England: A retrospective cohort analysis
Our findings suggest that disparity in glycaemic control, diabetes-related monitoring, and prescription of newer therapies remains a challenge in diabetes care. Both SES and ethnicity were important determinants of inequality (PLOS Medicine)

Severe Hypoglycemia Attributable to Intensive Glucose-Lowering Therapy Among US Adults With Diabetes
Intensive glucose-lowering therapy, particularly among vulnerable clinically complex adults, is strongly discouraged because it may lead to hypoglycemia. However, intensive treatment was equally prevalent among US adults, irrespective of clinical complexity (Mayo)
Changes in behaviors after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and 10-year incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality
In the year following diabetes diagnosis, small reductions in alcohol use were associated with lower hazard of CVD and small reductions in calorie intake were associated with lower hazard of all-cause mortality in a population-based sample (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
The Association Between Polypharmacy and Adverse health Consequences in Elderly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Pooled risk estimates reveal that polypharmacy is associated with increased all-cause mortality, macrovacular complications and hospitalization using categorical definitions. These findings assert the need for interventions that optimize the balance of benefits and harms in medicines prescribing (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Protocol: investigating the effectiveness and cost benefit of a lifestyle intervention targeting type 2 diabetes in Australia
The outcomes of this study have the potential to inform decisions about patient treatment and potentially provide incentive for the provision of funded lifestyle-based preventive and restorative programs for patients diagnosed with T2DM (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Type 2 diabetes in adults: management
It focuses on patient education, dietary advice, managing cardiovascular risk, managing blood glucose levels, and identifying and managing long-term complications (NICE)
