Use of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Adults (Age ≥ 65) with Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease is Lower in Alberta and Manitoba than in Ontario (2018-2020): A Cross-Sectional Study of Different Drug Funding Policies


2 weeks 5 days ago

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) provide heart and kidney benefit in adults with diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Public drug coverage policies for SGLT2i differ by province in Canada. Our study aimed to describe the potential effects of prior authorization / step therapy (PA/ST) and relatively high income-based deductibles, compared to regular benefit status with modest co-pay, on SGLT2i prescriptions in high-risk adults.

Glycemic Control in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Comparative Analysis of Wound and Wound-free Periods in Adults With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes


4 weeks ago

Our aim in this study was to determine whether there are differences in glycemia during wound and wound-free states among individuals with diabetes at a multidisciplinary diabetic foot and wound clinic from 2012 to 2019.

A Qualitative Exploration of Participant Experiences in the Avoiding Diabetes After Pregnancy Trial in Moms (ADAPT-M)


1 month ago

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a temporary condition of pregnancy, identifies women at high risk of developing subsequent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Lifestyle interventions have been shown to reduce the risk of developing T2D after GDM. However, they often have low attendance and adherence rates. The Avoiding Diabetes After Pregnancy Trial in Moms (ADAPT-M) is a 24-week home-based postpartum program aimed at bridging the gap from prenatal care to T2D prevention for women with GDM. Our objective was to explore the experiences of participants who completed the ADAPT-M program, to elicit their perceived benefits and opportunities for improvement.

Women’s and Partners’ Experiences With a Closed-loop Insulin Delivery System to Manage Type 1 Diabetes in the Postpartum Period


1 month ago

Closed-loop insulin delivery has the potential to offer women with type 1 diabetes a break from intense diabetes self-care efforts postpartum. Our aim in this study was to explore the views and opinions of hybrid closed-loop users and their partners in the first 24 weeks postpartum.

Prevalence of Long COVID and the Impact on Diabetes Management and Physical Activity Participation in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: An Australia-wide Cross-sectional Online Survey


1 month 3 weeks ago

The aim of this research was to understand the prevalence and impact of long COVID on adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Specifically, we sought to identify the proportion of adults with T2D who have had COVID-19 and experienced long COVID symptoms. We also explored how these ongoing symptoms impact diabetes management and physical activity participation.

Screening and Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults Living With Diabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network


1 month 4 weeks ago

In Canada, regional evaluations of screening practices for chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people with diabetes highlight areas for improvement; however, national estimates are notably absent. Estimates of CKD incidence often discount the expected decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) associated with age; age-adaptive thresholds may help account for this. We describe the frequency of screening and diagnosis of CKD among adults with diabetes from a nationally representative primary care cohort.

Neighbourhood Environments and Lifestyle Behaviours in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes


2 months ago

Early prevention strategies are needed to mitigate the high risk of cardiovascular disease in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Residential neighbourhood features can promote healthy lifestyle behaviours and reduce cardiovascular risk, but less is known about their role in lifestyle behaviours in adolescents with T1D, and no studies used comparisons to healthy controls.

Prognostic Implications of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Adults on Long-term Mortality and Diabetes-related Complications


2 months 1 week ago

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurring after diabetes diagnosis is often associated with risk factors for other diabetes-related complications. In this study we aimed to determine the prognostic implications of DKA on all-cause mortality and complications in type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Promoting Self-Management in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: Development of the Impact of Glucose Monitoring on Self-Management Scale


2 months 2 weeks ago

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management requires behavioural engagement to achieve optimal outcomes and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies may facilitate self-management. In this study we describe the development and validation of a self-report instrument, the Impact of Glucose Monitoring on Self-Management Scale (IGMSS), assessing the impact of device use (primarily CGM but also self-monitored blood glucose [SMBG]) on the capability, motivation, and opportunity to engage in self-management.

Changing Glucose Levels During the Menstrual Cycle as Observed in Adults in the Type 1 Diabetes Exercise Initiative Study


3 months ago

Evidence suggests that glucose levels in menstruating females with type 1 diabetes change throughout the menstrual cycle, reaching a peak during the luteal phase. The Type 1 Diabetes Exercise Initiative (T1DEXI) study provided the opportunity to assess glycemic metrics between early and late phases of the menstrual cycle, and whether differences could be explained by exercise, insulin, and carbohydrate intake.

Prescription Patterns of Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fracture Admitted to a Tertiary Care Centre in Ontario, Canada


3 months ago

Our aim in this study was to assess early adoption patterns of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in eligible patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and heart failure with reduced ejection fracture (HFrEF), and to identify gaps in practice.

Factors Influencing Physical Activity Level in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-sectional Study


3 months ago

Exercise is a recommended component of type 1 diabetes (T1D) treatment because high physical activity levels improve health outcomes. However, many people with T1D do not meet physical activity recommendations. Our aim in this study was to identify factors influencing physical activity levels in people with T1D.
