Researchers say circulating mononuclear cells (the largest type of white blood cell) and lymphocytes, exist in a proinflammatory state in obese persons known to be at increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or both.
Accumulating evidence supports the hypothesis that chronic low-grade inflammation and activation of the innate immune system are closely involved in the pathogenesis of the type 2 diabetes.
Our search found agents that might improve symptoms of neuropathy (eg, evening primrose oil, alpha-lipoic acid, capsaicin) without affecting glucose control. Evening primrose oil, alpha-lipoic acid, and capsaicin have received the greatest attention for t

In July 2016, recommendation 1.15.1 has been reworded to clarify the role of GPs in referring people for eye screening and also to add information on when this should happen.
The USA and England have joined forces on two films for healthcare professionals to show how they are reducing the combined 90million people living in their countries collectively who are on-track to develop Type 2 diabetes.
Top experts from both sides of the Atlantic shared tactics to reduce the 86 million Americans and 5million people in England at increased risk of developing the disease which can cause blindness and amputation.
In 2007-2010, Sheffield’s diabetes footcare profile showed that their amputation rates were much higher than the England average.
The Sheffield Trust diabetes team identified problems and delays in the patients’ footcare journey by using simple, proven service improvement techniques such as root cause analysis and process mapping.
The consultant diabetologists then led a service redesign, working with members of the footcare team to streamline the referral process.
There were a number of interventions, including the development of a simple inpatient foot screening tool and improving footcare-related patient education.
The team transformed local footcare, reducing amputation rates by 45% over three years.
The award winning DESMOND is now firmly established as the structured education course of choice for people with Type 2 diabetes and is now being delivered in Europe, Australia and piloted in Qatar. Over 6000 in Cumbria people with Type 2 Diabetes have attended the nationally recognised DESMOND structured education programme since it was launched in the county in 2009. Another 4000 people who were identified at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes have also attended the DESMOND Walking Away programme. DESMOND is a fundamental element in the treatment pathway of Type 2 Diabetes, providing a high value intervention to support people to take control and self-manage.
Introduction Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterised by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells leading to insulin deficiency. Prompt referral to a specialist paediatric diabetes team (PDT) for insulin initiation and further management is important to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which remains the most common cause of death in this condition.

Alginate dressings are used in current clinical practice to manage exudating wounds that require high moisture absorption, such as burns and pressure ulcers. A Cochrane systematic review performed an extensive systematic search to identify randomized controlled trials assessing alginate compared with alternative wound dressings in people with diabetic foot ulcers but found that the evidence was low quality and too sparse on which to base conclusions on their benefits and harms.
