Insomnia a condition marked by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or early morning awakenings despite an adequate opportunity for adequate rest. It affects up to one-third of adults, with around 10% meeting the criteria for insomnia disorder. Emerging research increasingly points to insomnia as a significant, modifiable risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

The rising prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM) presents a challenge to healthcare systems. Virtual care has emerged as a potential solution to alleviate this burden, but limited data exist on its effectiveness. This study evaluated maternal and neonatal outcomes in individuals with GDM managed with virtual care versus in-person care.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases future risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Despite Diabetes Canada guidelines recommending postpartum glucose testing after GDM, uptake remains low. Canadian population-based studies are needed to examine system-level factors affecting uptake.

This study explores the link between circulating vitamin C levels and the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the cycles of 2003-2004, 2005-2006, and 2017-2018. Our analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship, showing that higher levels of vitamin C are associated with a reduced risk of DM. Specifically, higher vitamin C concentrations correlated with lower odds of DM, particularly at elevated quartile levels. Despite these findings, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis did not establish a causal link between vitamin C and type 1 diabetes (T1DM).

People with diabetes are vulnerable to health inequities and population level COVID-19 vaccine uptake among adults with diabetes is unknown. Our aim was to assess COVID-19 vaccine uptake among adults with and without diabetes and the factors associated with vaccination.

The South Asian population is rapidly growing in the Greater Toronto Area with a growth rate of 10.6% versus the national average of 5.2%. Diabetes disproportionately affects South Asians, 8.1 times higher compared to Caucasians with increased risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications. There are several risk factors that have been identified including 24 single nucleotide polymorphisms, higher insulin resistance, low mean skeletal mass with higher visceral fat, and socioeconomic and family stressors.

Children and youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) must have support to manage their condition while at school. In 2017, Ontario students and their parents were surveyed to assess the level of school support and the extent to which that support met perceived needs. In 2018, a provincial policy was established, providing high-level guidance regarding children with T1D in school. We redistributed our survey in 2023 to determine whether support for children with T1D has improved and where gaps remain.
