Causal relationship between multiple modifiable risk factors and gestational diabetes mellitus: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a significant metabolic disorder affecting pregnant women, leading to increased risks of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Effective management and preventive strategies are crucial to mitigate its short- and long-term complications.
A call for a multidisciplinary approach to improving treatment of in-hospital non-severe hypoglycemia for people living with diabetes
LOWERING THE DIAGNOSTIC THRESHOLD FOR GESTATIONAL DIABETES: A COMPARISON OF TWO CENTRES
To compare two gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnostic thresholds in relation to large for gestational age (LGA) status and secondary adverse pregnancy outcomes.
CanDEG: Launching the Canadian Diabetes Epidemiology Group
Semaglutide use with automated insulin delivery in adults with type 1 diabetes: qualitative analyses and patient-reported outcomes from a randomized controlled trial
Interest in incretin therapy for type 1 diabetes is increasing, but data lacks regarding patient-reported outcomes and personal experience in this population with this drug.
The Effects of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Adults with Non-Insulin Dependent Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Assess the effect of a 6-week continuous glucose monitor (CGM) intervention with telemonitoring-enabled virtual diabetes educator visits on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not using insulin.
Safety and Effectiveness of Subcutaneous Insulin for Management of Mild to Moderate Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Non-Pregnant Patients: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care centre
Subcutaneous (SC) insulin has been studied as an alternative to intravenous (IV) insulin to reduce resource consumption in the management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, the feasibility and safety of an SC protocol has not been demonstrated in a Canadian context.
Real-world impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus in employer-sponsored benefit plans
To quantify the health benefit costs associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) among employees aged 40-59 years in Canadian employer-sponsored benefit plans.
“It’s a chronic, vicious, cycle”: diabetes health professionals’ perceptions of the impact of knee osteoarthritis on type 2 diabetes management
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) frequently co-occur, and concomitant knee OA increases risk for diabetes complications. Despite this, OA is frequently undertreated. Diabetes health professionals’ (HPs’) perceptions of the impact of knee OA in people with T2D may impact how it is addressed in clinical practice. We aimed to understand how diabetes HPs perceive the impact of knee OA on diabetes management and outcomes.
Postpartum Diabetes Screening and Conversion Rates Among Women Diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Using Standard versus Modified Criteria During the COVID-19 Pandemic
To examine postpartum diabetes screening and rates in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using standard versus modified criteria during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Psychosocial Experiences of Adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Synthesis
Globally, the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among adolescents is increasing. While T2D is known to bring physical health challenges, less is known about adolescents’ psychosocial experiences of T2D. We aimed to identify and synthesize existing qualitative research about adolescents’ psychosocial experiences of T2D to inform healthcare recommendations.
Patterns in the Incidence (1994–2018) and Prevalence (2004–2018) of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Among Nova Scotian Youth Under 20 Years of Age
Rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) in youth may be increasing globally, but findings vary across populations. We aimed to determine changes in incidence and prevalence of T1D and T2D over a 25-year period (1994–2018) in youth <20 years of age in Nova Scotia (NS).
Identifying Potential Sustainable and Scalable Interventions to Recognize Signs of Diabetes in Children Across Canada
Delayed diagnosis of diabetes in children can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition occurring in 10% to 80% of children at diabetes diagnosis. Ketoacidosis is preventable with prompt recognition of signs, urgent attendance to care, and rapid diagnosis and management. Our aim in this study was to plan for the development of an intervention to recognize signs of diabetes in children and prevent ketoacidosis that is evidence and theory informed and has potential for widespread implementation and long-term impact across Canada.
Predicting the Risk of COVID-19 Among Adult Patients With Diabetes: A Machine Learning Approach
In this study our aim was to develop a machine learning model that could accurately predict the risk of acquiring COVID-19 in community-dwelling adults with type 1 and/or type 2 diabetes in Alberta, Canada.
The Role of Group Exercise Classes as a Source of Motivation and Support for Those With Diabetes---a Silver Bullet?
Physical activity (PA) is a critical component of diabetes management, resulting in lower glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels [1,2] and reduced risk of complications and comorbidities [3,4]. Despite this, most people living with diabetes do not meet current guidelines [5,6]. Although adherence to regular PA is challenging across all populations, those with diabetes may face specific barriers toward PA adoption and maintenance. Notably, these barriers may also vary according to diabetes type, as individuals who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) may experience unique challenges.
Physician-reported Pediatric Diabetes Virtual Visit Quality and Outcome Not Associated With Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health (SDH) impact diabetes outcomes. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual care ensured health care access. However, socially disadvantaged groups have less technology access and skills, leading to potential disparities. We assessed the association between SDH and virtual visit success in children living with diabetes.
Assessment of Clinical Factors Influencing Glucose Management Indicator and Glycated Hemoglobin Discordance in Children With Type 1 Diabetes: A 1-Year, Real-world Data Observation
Published data still highlighted discordances between glucose management indicator (GMI; the parameter estimating glycated hemoglobin [A1C] from continuous glucose monitoring [CGM] reporting) and laboratory A1C, for reasons yet to be explored. In our study we aimed to identify potential clinical factors contributing to these discordances.
Can a Combined Epigenetic-Biomarker Score Supplant Chronologic Age as an Independent Determinant of Incident Death in Adults With Dysglycemia
Diabetes and prediabetes are associated with premature death and are recognized as conditions of accelerated biologic aging. To date, the best measurement of biologic age is chronologic age. Measures of biologic age that can replace chronologic age as a predictor of death can better approximate risk in affected individuals.
A Diabetes Peer Mentorship Program for First Nations Youth and Young Adults: An Intervention Protocol
The rising incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Indigenous peoples, exacerbated by historic injustices and health inequities, underscores the need for culturally sensitive health interventions that address both the physiological and psychological burdens of diabetes. This research protocol describes a community-driven initiative aimed at enhancing diabetes management among Indigenous youth and young adults in Canada, leveraging the lived experience and leadership of Indigenous young adults. This project seeks to integrate traditional Indigenous practices with modern health strategies to foster better health outcomes and psychosocial support through peer mentorship.
