Higher serum urate levels are associated with an increased risk of diabetic kidney disease. Lowering the level allopurinol may slow decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) persons type 1 diabetes and early-to-moderate disease.In a double-blind trial, we randomly assigned participants diabetes, at least 4.5 mg per deciliter, estimated GFR 40.0 to 99.9 ml minute 1.73 m2 body-surface area, evidence disease receive or placebo. The primary outcome was baseline-adjusted GFR, as measured...
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...
OBJECTIVE The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated that intensive therapy reduced the development progression of retinopathy in type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with conventional therapy. Epidemiology Interventions (EDIC) study observational follow-up showed persistent benefits. In addition to glycemia, we now examine other potential risk factors (modifiable nonmodifiable) over more than 30 years DCCT/EDIC. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS outcomes were proliferative...
In June 2016, Diabetes Technology Society convened a panel of US experts in inpatient diabetes management to discuss the current and potential role continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) hospital. This discussion combined with literature review was follow-up meeting, which took place May 2015. The reviewed evidence on use CGM 3 scenarios: (1) intensive care unit (ICU), (2) non-ICU, (3) transitioning outpatient into hospital setting. Panel members agreed that data from limited studies...
Attaining glycemic targets without severe hypoglycemic events (SHEs) is a challenging treatment goal for patients with type 1 diabetes complicated by impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH). The CIT Consortium Protocol 07 (CIT-07) trial showed islet transplantation to be an effective subjects IAH and intractable SHEs. We evaluated health-related quality life (HRQOL), functional health status, utility before after pancreatic in CIT-07 participants.Four surveys, the Diabetes Distress Scale...
This article is the work product of Continuous Glucose Monitor and Automated Insulin Dosing Systems in Hospital Consensus Guideline Panel, which was organized by Diabetes Technology Society met virtually on April 23, 2020. The guideline panel consisted 24 international experts use continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) automated insulin dosing (AID) systems representing adult endocrinology, pediatric obstetrics gynecology, advanced practice nursing, diabetes care education, clinical chemistry,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Understanding cardiovascular outcomes of initiating second-line antidiabetic medications (ADMs) may help inform treatment decisions after metformin alone is not sufficient or tolerated. To date, no studies have compared the effects all major ADMs during this early decision point in pharmacologic management type 2 diabetes. <h3>Objective</h3> examine association ADM classes with adverse events. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> Retrospective cohort study among 132...
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) its observational follow-up Epidemiology of Interventions (EDIC) demonstrated the dominant role glycemia, second only to age, as a risk factor for first cardiovascular event in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We now investigate association between established factors total disease (CVD) burden, including subsequent (i.e., recurrent) events.CVD events 1,441 DCCT/EDIC participants were analyzed separately by (CVD death, acute myocardial infarction...
The HERO registry was established to support research on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic US healthcare workers. Describe experiences and effects individuals participating in registry. Cross-sectional, self-administered enrollment survey conducted from April 10 July 31, 2020. Participants worked hospitals (74.4%), outpatient clinics (7.4%), other settings (18.2%) located throughout nation. A total 14,600 exposure, viral antibody testing, diagnosis COVID-19, job burnout, physical emotional...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether metformin or lifestyle modification can lower rates of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From 1996 to 1999, 3,234 adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes were randomized an intensive intervention, masked metformin, placebo. Placebo interventions stopped 2001, a modified program was offered everyone, but unmasked study continued those originally randomized. Causes deaths through...
A portion of patients with diabetes are repeatedly hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), termed recurrent DKA, which is associated poorer clinical outcomes. This study evaluated fragmentation care, and mortality throughout six institutions in the Chicago area.A deidentified Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act-compliant data set from (HealthLNK) was used to identify 3,615 DKA (ICD-9 250.1x) 2006 2012, representing 5,591 inpatient admissions DKA. Demographic were queried....
Identifying factors associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among health care workers (HCWs) may help systems optimize SARS-CoV-2 control strategies.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Northwestern HCW Serology Cohort Study. We used Abbott Architect Nucleocapsid IgG assay to determine seropositivity. Logistic regression models (adjusted for demographics and self-reported community exposure disease 2019 [COVID-19])...
The annual Virtual Hospital Diabetes Meeting was hosted by the Technology Society on April 14 and 15, 2023, with goal of reviewing progress made in hospital use continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). topics included (1) Nursing Issues, Protocols, Order Sets, Staff Education for Using CGMs, (2) Implementing CGM Programs Use Wards, (3) Quality Metrics Financial Implications CGMs Hospital, (4) Critical Care Setting, (5) Special Situations: Labor/Delivery Hemodialysis, (6) Research Session (7)...
Intensive glycemic control has been shown to positively impact outcomes in an intensive care setting. Whether this practice is beneficial after liver transplantation (LT) not known.A retrospective review of patients undergoing LT from February 2002 July 2007 was conducted analyze the association between perioperative hyperglycemia and LT. Covariates included preexisting diabetes, mean glucose 3 months pre-LT, need for insulin drip post-LT, total during post-LT hospitalization, age, sex, type...
Higher serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Preventing Early Renal Loss in Diabetes (PERL) evaluates whether lowering SUA allopurinol slows glomerular filtration rate (GFR) loss people type 1 diabetes (T1D) and mild to moderate DKD. We present the PERL rationale, design, baseline characteristics.This double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial randomized 530 participants T1D, estimated GFR (eGFR) of 40-99.9 mL/min/1.73 m2, ≥4.5 m/dL, micro-...
