Diabetes-related comorbidity induced better risk factor treatment only for incident cases, implying that appropriate care is provided more often when complications occur. Diabetes-unrelated comorbidity did not affect hypertension or hyperglycemia management, even when it was incident or life-interfering. Thus, the observed “undertreatment” in diabetes care cannot be explained by constraints caused by such comorbidity(PLoS ONE)

HbA1c levels and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetic patients: Epidemiological evidence of the need for personalised therapeutic targets
The present study suggests that glycaemic targets should be individualised on the basis of the characteristics of each patient, considering age, co-morbidity and duration of diabetes (Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases)
The drug industry is a barrier to diabetes care in poor countries
In many parts of the world, people with type 1 diabetes (whether or not the condition is diagnosed) still die for want of insulin, and those with type 2 diabetes go without treatments that prolong life at minimal cost: metformin, antihypertensives, and statins (BMJ)
Misperception of patients with type 2 diabetes about diet and physical activity and its effect on readiness to change
Patients with type 2 diabetes misperceive their lifestyle behaviors, which hinders lifestyle changes. The variations in misperception and readiness to change show that diversity should be considered in lifestyle counseling for patients with type 2 diabetes (Journal of Diabetes)
