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


2 months 3 weeks ago

Population studies have identified common genetic variants contributing substantially to the burden of diabetes in Greenland. However, the handling of suspected monogenic diabetes in diabetes clinics in Greenland has not been described. In this study 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


3 months 1 week 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.
