| Self-management is quickly hidden from view in a system orientated to treatment delivery rather than to enhancing patient self-management. The model created highlights the limited self-management support currently provided and illuminates points where service change might impact on providing support for self-management (BMC)
This was the first tissue engineered islet transplant using a ‘biodegradable scaffold’ implanted on the surface of the omentum (PR Newswire)
In children with type 1 diabetes, sAF values correlate strongly with single HbA1c and mean HbA1c, making the non-invasive sAF measurement an interesting alternative to provide information about cumulative hyperglycemic states (Pediatric Diabetes)
Between 1988-1994 and 2011-2012, the prevalence of diabetes increased in the overall population and in all subgroups evaluated (JAMA)
Treatment with CSII over 4 years independently reduced HbA1c and UACR compared with MDI. Reduced UACR may be due to less glycaemic variability because the effect of CSII on HbA1c could only partially explain the effect (Diabetic Medicine)
Finding supports the safety of repeated glucagon delivery in the setting of a bihormonal closed-loop system (Diabetes Care)
Occurrence of partial remission of diabetes is associated with a reduced risk of chronic microvascular complications at 7-year follow-up (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
Our data support the use of lower fasting and post-load glucose thresholds to diagnose gestational diabetes in south Asian than white British women (BMJ)
In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter SI (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Surgery is more effective than medical treatment for the long-term control of obese patients with type 2 diabetes and should be considered in the treatment algorithm of this disease. However, continued monitoring of glycaemic control is warranted because of potential relapse of hyperglycaemia (Lancet)
The data support the potential for reducing the intake of fat and added sugars, preferring complex, slowly absorbable, carbohydrates (European Journal of Nutrition)
Improved childcare quality and access as well as more research into a shorter, more convenient test procedure for type 2 diabetes screening are needed. Reminder systems for postpartum diabetes screening should be electronic where possible (Primary Care Diabetes)
