Diabetes is an increasingly common, long-term condition, requiring 24/7 self-care and constituting one of the greatest health challenges our time. As with all 'wicked problems', a one-size-fits-all approach to care doomed fail. In 2020, we welcomed first international consensus report on precision diabetes medicine, which included section patient-centred mental quality life outcomes.1 This recommendation that, 'in setting providers should assess symptoms distress, depression, anxiety,...
Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) includes hyperglycaemia, hypertension, central adiposity, elevated triglyceride levels and low of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

This longitudinal study examined whether loneliness, which has been shown to predict a range negative health outcomes, increases the MetS. Methods We used data from ‘the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study’ (HUNT) is large based on Mid-Norway county...

Although diabetes distress is found to be associated with decreased glycaemic control among adults type 1 diabetes, the psychological and emotional impact of living condition often not recognised under-reported in care. Therefore, regular assessment recommended. Assessment using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) clinical practice has potential enhance care for people by identifying problems improving patient-clinician communication. In this study protocol, we describe a pilot...
