Objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in youth with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Elucidating the risk factors for poor glycemic control and DKA hospitalizations is crucial for the refinement and development of prevention and treatment efforts. .

Short-term treatment for people with type 2 diabetes using a low dose of the selective endothelin A receptor antagonist atrasentan reduces albuminuria without causing significant sodium retention. We report the long-term effects of treatment with atrasentan on major renal outcomes.. Please contact the library to request a copy of this article - http://bit.ly/1Xyazai
With the increasingly ageing population worldwide, more older people are living with diabetes.

As the global epidemic of obesity and type two diabetes in children and adults continues to be a major challenge to public health, an intriguing possible ‘off-target’ effect of the rotavirus vaccine and association with a reduction in the incidence of Type 1 diabetes, has been reported in JAMA Paediatrics. An Australian study from a team in Melbourne, JAMA Pediatr 2019;173(3):280-282. doi: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2018.4578) and is the first report of epidemiological evidence of this possible and fascinating association..

Following release of this guidance, the Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have been working with Diabetes Specialist Teams to put in an appropriate pathway to make sure that eligible patients have access to the glucose monitoring device.Whilst the National media reported that Flash Glucose Monitoring systems would be available from the 1st April 19 it is the intention of the CCG to offer access to this provision from the 1st May as the guidelines and funding arrangements were published later than expected.
Conclusions: People with T1D were frequent users of OOH services, and the OOH visitors were frequent users of eHealth. The use of OOH services was positively associated with the use of health apps, with self-reported anxiety/depression, and with feeling anxious based on information from the Internet. Likewise, deciding to consult a doctor based on information from the Internet was positively associated with OOH visits. The use of eHealth seems to have a significant impact on people with T1D.
People with intellectual disabilities remain at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) due to lifestyle‐associated risk factors. Educational programmes have been adapted for people with intellectual disabilities targeting ongoing T2D self‐management. However, there are no adapted programmes which aim to prevent T2D through reducing risk factors. The present study initiates addressing this gap..

Findings suggest that combining an automated electronic health record system to identify at-risk patients with a tailored mHealth protocol can provide education to this population. While this intervention was insufficient to effect behavioral change resulting in better hypertension control, it does suggest that this FQHC population will engage in low-cost population health applications with a potentially promising impact
Although short adult height is generally associated with increased risks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), there are large inconsistencies across studies. The aims of this study were to describe and quantify currently available evidence on the association between adult height and T2DM, to examine whether the reported associations differ by sex, and to examine the shapes of the height and T2DM associations.

On the 8th March 2019 NHS England published a guidance document for patients with Type 1 Diabetes setting out the eligibility criteria for flash glucose monitoring.
Following release of this guidance, the Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have been working with Diabetes Specialist Teams to put in an appropriate pathway to make sure that eligible patients have access to the glucose monitoring device.
New data from the Diabetes Foot Care Profiles, published by PHE’s National Cardiovascular Intelligence Network, shows that the number of major lower limb amputations (above the ankle) continues to rise – with 7,545 major amputations over the past 3 years between 2015 to 2018, compared with 6,957 between 2012 to 2015.
New figures show that the 17,000 people who attended most of the healthy living sessions lost an average of 3.4kg, over one kilogram more than originally predicted and a total of 59,000kg.
The programme, which gives advice on dieting, exercise and healthy lifestyle, is being doubled in size over the next few years to treat around 200,000 people annually as part of the NHS Long Term Plan’s renewed focus on prevention.
Therapeutic shoes can prevent diabetic foot reulcerations but their use is complicated by the fact that shoes have psychological and social meanings, which is believed to put a larger burden on women than men. The aim was to compare attitudes and attributes of women and men using therapeutic shoes for diabetic foot complications.
The profiles include a range of analysis covering risk, treatment and outcomes, highlighting variation between areas and time-periods. They are intended to help guide equitable national, regional and local commissioning of diabetic foot care services and other preventative interventions.
