A Square Peg in A Round Hole: Social Experiences of Living with Diabetes in Canada in 2024


2 days 7 hours ago

Diabetes self-management often occurs in social contexts, around others without diabetes. International consensus identifies the pervasive presence of social stigma towards those with diabetes, negatively impacting health, well-being, social and professional lives. We aimed to determine the social experiences of Canadian adults living with type 1(T2D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes.

Preparing a New Generation of Providers in Canada: The Mental Health + Diabetes Training Program


1 week ago

Diabetes care in Canada is compromised by the lack of resources to adequately address the mental health challenges associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. To address this gap Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) Canada and Diabetes Canada developed a bilingual training program, and associated directory listing successful graduates, to educate and empower existing mental health providers to better provide services to those living with diabetes. This paper reports on the development and initial outcomes of this virtual training program.

Associations of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index With Mortality Risk Among Adults in Diabetic Kidney Disease, NHANES 1999-2018


3 weeks 6 days ago

Immune-Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but the exact assessment of indicators are undefined. Our paper examined the link between Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and mortality risk in DKD, and explore the effect of sex disparities on it.

Exercise training for people with diabetes-related foot ulcers – a systematic review of glycaemia, fitness, and wound healing outcomes.


1 month ago

Regular physical activity is a key, patient-centred therapy for people with diabetes to manage their glycaemia. The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) recommends optimisation of glycaemic control for people with/at risk of diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU), however people with DFU are commonly instructed by clinicians to avoid physical activity so as not to worsen the ulcer. The effects of exercise on glycaemia, fitness, and wound healing in people with active DFU are not clear.

High Prevalence and Common Forms of Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young in Greenland


1 month 1 week ago

Population studies have identified common genetic variants contributing substantially to the burden of diabetes in Greenland. However, handling of suspected monogenic diabetes in diabetes clinics in Greenland has not been described. We aimed to describe the referral rate, prevalence, and genetic causes of clinically identified monogenic diabetes in Greenland.

Critical Insights on Promoting Self-management in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Development and Validation of the Glucose Monitoring Impact Scale


1 month 4 weeks ago

I am writing in response to the study by Vallis et al in a recent issue of the Journal [1]. The authors present a convincing case for the importance of self-management in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Their study introduces the Impact of Glucose Monitoring on Self-Management Scale to measure engagement in self-management behaviours facilitated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies.

Possible Drug Interaction Between Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor and Repaglinide in an Adult With Cystic Fibrosis–related Diabetes


2 months 2 weeks ago

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators, such as elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), improve the function of the defective CFTR protein and have significantly improved the management of CF by enhancing lung function.

The Impact of Resistance Training and Diabetes Education on Physical Functioning, Frailty Status, and Glycemia in Older Adults With Short- and Long-Duration Type 2 Diabetes: A Secondary Analysis of the Band-Frail Study


2 months 2 weeks ago

Diabetes duration is an underappreciated risk factor in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) management that can increase the risk of complications and potentially decrease the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. However, it is unclear whether T2DM duration impacts the efficacy of an elastic band resistance training intervention for older adults living with comorbid T2DM and frailty. In this analysis we aimed to investigate and better understand the impact of a 16-week elastic band resistance training and diabetes education intervention on physical functioning, glycemia, and frailty in older adults of different T2DM durations.

Switching From Open-source to Commercial Advanced Automated Insulin Delivery System: Glucose Management and Patient Perspective in an Adult Living With Type 1 Diabetes


2 months 2 weeks ago

There has been substantial technological and medical advancement in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in recent decades. Vital exogenous insulin can be delivered to people living with T1D (PwT1D) using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems containing an algorithm that automatically adjusts subcutaneous insulin infusion based on glucose data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) [1]. For most PwT1D, the goal is to increase the glucose time in optimal range (TIR%: 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L [70 to 180 mg/dL]) to reduce risk of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and their consequences [2].
