International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes are commonly used to identify cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in health services research, but they have not been validated. Our aim in this study was to assess the accuracy of ICD, 10th revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes for DKA.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) disproportionately impacts adolescents living in challenging socioeconomic conditions. However, the impacts of T2D on quality of life (QOL) in this context are unknown. Our aim in this study was to evaluate QOL and identify its biological, psychological, and social determinants among adolescents living with and without T2D from similar sociodemographic backgrounds. Relationships between glycemic stability, early complications, and treatments of T2D and QOL were also examined.

There is no population, ethnic group, or age group free from diabetes or its complications. In this issue of the Journal, the diversity of diabetes is well illustrated—across diabetes type, population, and age spectrum. What can we learn from studying diabetes in diverse populations?

Physical activity is associated with improved health in people with type 1 diabetes. However, physical activity level may be associated with socioeconomic status. The primary aim was to investigate the association between education level and physical activity level amongst people with type 1 diabetes.

There are many educational resources for adolescents and young adults living with type 1 diabetes; however, it is unknown whether they address the breadth of topics related to transition to adult care. Our aim in this study was to collect educational resources relevant to Canadian youth and assess their quality and comprehensiveness in addressing the knowledge necessary for youth to prepare for interdependent management of their diabetes.

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of several cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer. The evidence for higher breast cancer risk after diabetes in pregnancy is conflicting. We compared the incidence of breast and other cancers between pregnant women with and without diabetes.

Existing tools to predict the risk of complications among people with type 2 diabetes poorly discriminate high- from low-risk patients. Our aim in this study was to develop risk prediction scores for major type 2 diabetes complications using real-world clinical care data, and to externally validate these risk scores in a different jurisdiction.

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is one of the most common yet overlooked complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM patients with CAN have a 5-fold higher rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The presence of CAN in T2DM could potentially lead to arterial stiffness. However, only sparse data are available suggesting any association between autonomic dysfunction and arterial stiffness in T2DM.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent chronic disease and a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in Canada. We evaluated the burden of T2DM in Alberta, Canada, by estimating the 5-year period prevalence of T2DM and rates of comorbidities and complications/conditions after T2DM.

The association of diabetes, and COVID-19 infection has been studied extensively; however, the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic/hyperosmolar states (HHS) in adults during the lockdown has not been well characterized. In this study, we aimed to identify the impact of the lockdown on occurrence and severity of DKA/HHS admissions and glycemic management.

Many of the adverse outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are linked to excessive fetal growth, which is strongly mediated by the adequacy of maternal glycemic management. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rapid adoption of virtual care models. We aimed to compare glycemic management, fetal growth, and perinatal outcomes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
