OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the association of time in range (TIR) 70–180 mg/dL (3.9–10 mmol/L) with development or progression retinopathy and microalbuminuria using Diabetes Control Complications Trial (DCCT) data set order to validate use TIR as an outcome measure for clinical trials. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In DCCT, blood glucose concentrations were measured at a central laboratory from seven fingerstick samples (seven-point testing: pre- 90-min postmeals bedtime) collected during...

While A1C is well established as an important risk marker for diabetes complications, with the increasing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to help facilitate safe and effective management, it understand how CGM metrics, such mean glucose, correlate. Estimated (eA1C) a measure converting from or self-monitored blood readings, using formula derived readings population individuals, into estimate simultaneously measured laboratory A1C. Many patients clinicians find eA1C be helpful...
Abstract The significant and growing global prevalence of diabetes continues to challenge people with (PwD), healthcare providers, payers. While maintaining near-normal glucose levels has been shown prevent or delay the progression long-term complications diabetes, a proportion PwD are not attaining their glycemic goals. During past 6 years, we have seen tremendous advances in automated insulin delivery (AID) technologies. Numerous randomized controlled trials real-world studies that use AID...
IN BRIEF This study quantitatively measures diabetes stigma and its associated psychosocial impact in a large population of U.S. patients with type 1 or 2 using an online survey sent to 12,000 people diabetes. A majority respondents (76%) (52%) reported that comes stigma. Perceptions were significantly higher among than those diabetes, the highest rate parents children (83%) lowest who did not use insulin (49%). Our results suggest disturbingly high percentage experience stigma, particularly...
Language is powerful and can have a strong impact on perceptions as well behavior. A task force, consisting of representatives from the American Association Diabetes Educators (AADE) (ADA), convened to discuss language in diabetes care education. This document represents expert opinion force. The literature supports need for movement There are effective ways communicating about diabetes. article provides recommendations used by health professionals others when discussing through spoken or...
Background: A composite metric for the quality of glycemia from continuous glucose monitor (CGM) tracings could be useful assisting with basic clinical interpretation CGM data. Methods: We assembled a data set 14-day 225 insulin-treated adults diabetes. Using balanced incomplete block design, 330 clinicians who were highly experienced analysis and ranked best to worst glycemia. used principal component multiple regressions develop model predict clinician ranking based on seven standard...
The increasing prevalence of diabetes, combined with a growing global shortage health care professionals (HCP), necessitates the need to develop new approaches diabetes delivery expand access care, lessen burden on people improve efficiencies, and reduce unsustainable financial liability systems payers. Use digital technologies telehealth protocols within digital/virtual clinic has potential address these challenges. However, several issues must be resolved move forward. In February 2020,...
To frame the substantial prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a 'Modern Preventable Pandemic' (MPP) and present certain replicable policy lessons from COVID-19 crisis to address it. A literature review was performed analyze data about T2D pandemics establish their multi-factorial health, social, economic impacts. With global tripling in last two decades, has become an MPP largely due modifiable human behaviors. Certain successful elements response pandemic provide important that can be...
IN BRIEF After assessing patient perspectives on the success of current diabetes therapies and factors that have greatest impact daily life, we show time-in-range is a crucial outcome for people with are falling short this metric. We also patients feel significant stress worry, they believe in diet, exercise, weight maintenance. In addition, diet exercise in-range blood glucose biggest drivers improved management mindset. Together, these findings support need improve outcomes including beyond A1C.

Abstract Objective We conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of cereal made from caterpillars, micronutrient-rich, locally available alternative animal-source food, on reducing stunting and anaemia in infants Democratic Republic Congo. Design Six-month-old were cluster randomized receive either caterpillar daily until 18 months age or usual diet. At age, anthropometric measurements biological samples collected. Setting The rural Equateur Province Subjects One...
In Brief There is great enthusiasm for the potential of digital health solutions in medicine and diabetes to address key care challenges: patient provider burden, lack data inform therapeutic decision-making, poor access care, costs. However, field still its nascent days; many patients providers do not currently engage with tools, those who do, burden often high. Over time, has excellent collect more seamlessly, make collected useful, drive better outcomes at lower costs less time. But there...
IN BRIEF Biosimilar insulins are likely to enter the insulin landscape as patents for major branded products start expire in next few years. have potential reduce diabetes treatment costs, increase accessibility of treatment, and expand number brands available those with diabetes. However, they will overcome numerous regulatory hurdles, meet a variety commercial demands, effectively confront competition from both established next-generation before can succeed on global market.
