| We estimate that CKD is present in one out of ten adults. These individuals experience significant adverse outcomes with associated costs. The prevalence of CKD is underestimated when using diagnostic codes alone. There is considerable public health potential in diagnosing CKD and providing treatments to those currently undiagnosed (The Lancet)
Spend on hypoglycaemic agents is highly variable between practices and increased expenditure per patient is not associated with better glycemic control. Whilst newer, more expensive agents have additional benefits, in individuals where these advantages are more marginal widespread use of these agents have important cost implications (Diabetic Medicine)
These findings uncover the importance of melatonin and melatonin-related bacteria and metabolites as potential therapeutic targets for type 2 diabetes (Diabetologia)
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors increased the risk of cholecystitis in randomised controlled trials, especially with a longer treatment duration, which requires more attention from physicians in clinical practice (BMJ)
This guideline covers care and management for adults (aged 18 and over) with type 2 diabetes. It focuses on patient education, dietary advice, managing cardiovascular risk, managing blood glucose levels, and identifying and managing long-term complications (NICE)
This guideline covers care and treatment for adults (aged 18 and over) with type 1 diabetes. It includes advice on diagnosis, education and support, blood glucose management, cardiovascular risk, and identifying and managing long-term complications (NICE)
This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and young people aged under 18. The guideline recommends how to support children and young people and their families and carers to maintain tight control of blood glucose to reduce the long-term risks associated with diabetes (NICE)
Altogether, the results point to novel genes contributing to the pathogenesis of DKD (Diabetologia)
Prevalence of guideline-aligned treatment use in 2019 was low, particularly since many patients fit into multiple risk groups with established treatment benefits (Diabetes Therapy)
This review discusses the SGLT2 and its role in glucose homeostasis, molecules inhibiting the transporter, possible physiological mechanisms responsible for the decreased incident atrial fibrillation in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors and proposes mechanistic studies to further our understanding of the biological processes involved (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Since patients with high microbial load had a worse outcome, quantitative cultures from DFUs can identify patients who would benefit from antibiotic therapy (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Study participants valued psychosocial screening and supported addressing mental health as a routine part of diabetes comprehensive care (Pediatric Diabetes)
Overall, initial psychometrics suggest the DSRI is a reliable and valid measure of risks that adolescents may take with their T1D care. This innovative self-report measure has potential to be an actionable clinical tool to screen for high-risk behaviors not routinely assessed in T1D clinical care (Pediatric Diabetes)
Despite similar BMI, women with pGDM had a substantially higher risk of developing T2DM, prediabetes, and the MetS compared to controls. Both beta cell dysfunction and reduced insulin sensitivity seem to contribute to this increased risk (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Our results show an increased risk of mortality in those who did not receive all eight care processes in one or both of the previous two years. Our results provide evidence that the increased rate of non-COVID-19-related mortality in people with diabetes in England observed between July 3, and Oct 15 of 2021 is associated with a reduction in completion of routine diabetes care processes following the pandemic onset in 2020 (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
We propose a roadmap to achieve precision medicine as standard of care, to discuss current progress in relation to monogenic diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and to determine what additional work is required (Diabetologia)
