Letter from the Editor

There is no doubt that recording your activity will cause you to try harder. Although I ride the same route with our bike club almost every day, I look to see if I set any new times for the multiple segments we have mapped out.

Most cyclists use an app called Strava, and it is often said, “if it isn’t on Strava, you didn’t do it.”

Fitbits, Apple Watches and multiple other devices are available for our patients with diabetes to help them record -- and hopefully increase -- their activity. But do these devices actually make a difference? Our intern Emmanuella Louissaint, PharmD candidate, LECOM College of Pharmacy, has looked through various studies to come up with an answer. Be sure to check out her feature and learn what she found out.

The Effect of Type 2 Diabetes on Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged Patients
Could midlife cognitive decline be an indicator of increased dementia risk in patients with type 2 diabetes?

Religion and Spirituality Not Significantly Associated with Reduced Incidence of T2D
Women who attended religious service had a similar incidence of T2D compared to those that did not.

Interventions Utilizing Fitness Trackers Among Adults with Cardiometabolic Conditions
Fitness trackers are affordable and popular, but do they correlate with better physical activity levels in people with diabetes or other cardiometabolic conditions?

Narrowing the Scope of Antidiabetic Treatment Options Utilizing Patient-Specific Factors
The abundant options for glucose-lowering medications can make an individualized pharmacologic approach to treatment arduous.

COVID-19 ICU Admissions in Patients with Diabetes
Recent studies show a correlation between patients with diabetes and ICU admissions/mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 infections in the United States.

Different Groups of People at Risk for Developing T2D
Researchers examined six different subgroups to determine what factors raised or lowered their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
