Facebook , Twitter, the last few years have shown the ease of communication using technology where all aspects of someone can be followed on line and where a person’s once confidential information now seems to be open to the world. Compare that to communication between health care professionals involved in a patients care.
Diabetes News
Glycosmedia is dedicated to bringing free, non-promotional, editorially independent news to a global audience about developments in diabetes, and is primarily aimed at health professionals.
Diabetes – the teenage years
The adolescent and young adult years are difficult enough for a young person to handle, the additional burden of managing diabetes making this even harder.
Healing rate calculation in the diabetic foot ulcer: Comparing different methods
Contrary to expectations, the linear advancement method was correlated to initial wound size in the longer duration wounds suggesting that in these chronic wounds, differing healing phases render the surface area calculation method superior to the linear advancement parameter (Wound Repair and Regeneration)
T1D pre-school – long-term metabolic control, autoimmunity & complications
For children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes aged under 6 years, good metabolic control was achievable until age 10 years, after which it deteriorated. Higher HbA1c levels observed in children diagnosed before the age of 6 years were associated with longer duration of disease (Diabetic Medicine)
Recent advances in incretin-based therapies
This review provides an overview of the development of incretin-based therapies and explains their differing modes of action compared with traditional interventions (Clinical Endocrinology)
Prediabetes -associated neuropathy predominantly involves sensory small fibres
The absolute IENFD values from distal leg were significantly lower in both eDM2 (p
Self-monitoring of blood glucose improves glycemic control in oral hypoglycemic
SMBG is beneficial for glycemic control and palm blood sampling is a useful procedure for OHA-treated T2D (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Make diabetes a top NHS priority, says Baroness Young
As an outspoken critic of the coalition government’s health reforms, Baroness Barbara Young doesn’t hold back when asked about the future of the NHS. ‘I am concerned about integration,’ she says (GP)
Axonal dysfunction prior to neuropathy onset in type 1 diabetes
This study provides clear evidence of altered axonal function in type 1 diabetic patients in the absence of clinical neuropathy. These findings suggest that altered axonal membrane potential may precede neuropathy onset in type 1 diabetes, and as such may indicate a window of opportunity to intervene and potentially reverse axonal membrane dysfunction before the development of irreversible neuropathy (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Data from Boehringer Ingelheim & Lilly showcase strength of Diabetes Alliance
The Alliance continues to reinforce its commitment to diabetes with data presentations on three molecules in three product classes, across type 1 and type 2 diabetes (Lilly)
A two-step screening algorithm model is an accurate strategy for detecting GD
This study demonstrates a new concept for accurate but cheap GDM screening. This approach should be further evaluated in different populations to ensure an optimised diagnostic algorithm (Diabetologia)
The prevalence of gestational diabetes in advanced economies
This review provides a comprehensive and sound summary of the current state of research on the prevalence of GDM in advances economies as a first step in identifying starting points for future interventions (Journal of Perinatal Medicine)
Exogenous calreticulin improves diabetic wound healing
The in vitro effects of CRT on these functions are consistent with CRT’s potent effects on wound healing in the diabetic mouse. These studies implicate CRT as a potential powerful topical therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetic and other chronic wounds (Wound Repair and Regeneration)
Measuring glucose without needle pricks
The linchpin is a biosensor engineered by Fraunhofer researchers: A tiny chip combines measurement and digital analysis – and can be radioed to a mobile device (Fraunhofer)
Extrapancreatic Autoantibody Profiles in Type I Diabetes
Taken together, these results suggest that autoantibody portraits derived from islet and organ-specific targets will likely be useful for enhancing the clinical management of T1D (PLoS ONE)
Novartis – 2 CHMP positive opinions for new indications of Galvus® and Eucreas®
Novartis announced today that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has issued two positive opinions for new indications for the use of Galvus® (vildagliptin) and Eucreas® (vildagliptin and metformin) in combination with other treatments for type 2 diabetes patients (Novartis)
White Matter Structural Differences in Young Children with T1D
Children with type 1 diabetes had significantly different WM structure (as measured by A Diffusion Tenso) when compared with controls. In addition, WM structural differences (as measured by RD) were significantly correlated with their HbA1c values (Diabetes Care)
Cause of diabetes may be linked to iron transport
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk A/S have now shown that the increased activity of one particular iron-transport protein destroys insulin-producing beta cells (University of Copenhagen)
Evaluating Regional Paediatric Diabetes Network Coordinator Yorkshire & Humber
A report on the findings of an evaluation of the impact of the Yorkshire and the Humber Paediatric Network Coordinator role (NHS Diabetes)
Prediction models for risk of developing type 2 diabetes
A systematic literature search and independent external validation study (BMJ)
