The magnitude and precision regarding the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is unclear. Thus, we examined the risk of DKA with SGLT2 inhibitors in both observational studies and large clinical trials.

The CGM TIME Trial is a multicentre RCT in children with type 1 diabetes comparing simultaneous pump and CGM to CGM initiation 6 months later (Paradigm™ Veo™, Enlite™ sensor, Medtronic Canada). This study examined SOCRATES’ ability to classify children and parents into distinct motivational stages and the stages’ association with HbA1c at trial entry and outcomes 6 months after CGM initiation.

Workplace type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention programs vary in intervention, delivery and methodologic approaches. Using predetermined criteria, we evaluated the effect and implementation of workplace interventions to prevent T2D.

Little is known about the relationship between albuminuria in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular risk. We aimed to determine whether youth with T2D and albuminuria have evidence of increased cardiovascular risk and/or early cardiovascular dysfunction compared with youth with T2D without albuminuria.

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-secreting beta cells. Genetic variants upstream at the insulin (INS) locus contribute to ∼10% of type 1 diabetes heritable risk. Previous studies showed an association between rs3842753 C/C genotype and type 1 diabetes susceptibility, but the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To date, no large-scale studies have looked at the effect of genetic variation at rs3842753 on INS mRNA at the single-cell level.

Over the past decade, many Health Services Research (HSR) studies have been guided by the Triple Aim Framework, which was introduced by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (www.ihi.org) in 2007, and includes 3 dimensions: “improving the individual experience of care; improving the health of populations; and reducing the per capita costs of care” (1). The Triple Aim has proven a useful framework for quality improvement and health systems research. This issue of the Canadian Journal of Diabetes features several articles that relate to one or more of the 3 aims: changing Alberta’s insulin pump therapy eligibility criteria to improve selection and safety of individuals living with diabetes (2); using sensor-based technology to improve glycemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes (3); switching primary care providers from fee-for-service to capitation-based remuneration to improve diabetes care (4); and combining SGLT2 inhibitors with GLP-1 receptor agonists to improve cardiorenal outcomes (5), among others.

Decades of study has demonstrated the proportion of patients who are not meeting evidence-based targets for management of their diabetes. In this issue of the Journal, Shah et al add to this literature, showing that about one-fifth of the people living with diabetes in Ontario in 2019 had a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) of >8% (1). In their study from Brazil, Bergonsi de Farias and colleagues show that two thirds of their study population were not meeting A1C target levels (2). Patry and colleagues used the framework of structure, process and outcome measures and showed that, despite excellent achievement in structure and process indicators for diabetic foot ulcer management, the outcomes remained suboptimal; the authors hypothesize that additional structural supports are needed to address patient-level factors (3).

Although quality of care in the prevention and management of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) has improved with the use of comprehensive evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, disparities between national and international guidelines have been demonstrated in one study conducted in Western Pacific regions. Although there are challenges of systematic implementation of evidence-based care in some clinical settings, their applications have demonstrated positive outcomes on DFU-associated burdens in many countries.

Our aims in this study were to document the screening rate for cystic fibrosis‒related diabetes (CFRD) in children followed at a cystic fibrosis (CF) clinic in Canada and to evaluate the accuracy of various glycated hemoglobin (A1C) cutoffs to screen for CFRD and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in a pediatric CF population.

The events and people surrounding the discovery of insulin as an effective therapy for diabetes in 1921 represent a compelling story that is directly relevant to the lives, and indeed the existence, of tens of millions of people worldwide. This story begins in the 19th century with the recognition that diabetes is a disease of hyperglycemia that arises because of the absence of a pancreatic hormone, that rapidly leads to death in people classified as having “thin diabetes” and that is linked to serious end-organ damage and other health consequences in people identified as having “fat diabetes.” It continues with the recognition that pancreatic extracts can treat this problem in de-pancreatectomized dogs, and culminates with the dogged determination of a young, newly certified Canadian physician, Frederick Banting.

Our aim in this study was to identify pediatric patients presenting in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) who received initial treatment inconsistent with current guidelines, and then to track associated complications.

Our objective in this study was to answer the main research question: In patients with diabetes, does virtual care vs face-to-face care provide different clinical, patient and practitioner experience or quality outcomes? Articles (2012 to 2020) describing interventions using virtual care with the capability for 2-way, individualized interactions compared with usual care were included. Studies involving any patients with diabetes and outcomes of glycated hemoglobin (A1C), quality of care and/or patient or health-care practitioner experience were included.
