Our approach using a predictive index to combine HbA1c with other test data will enhance its performance. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons.

We compared the efficacy and relative cost of adding exenatide treatment to patients with type 2 diabetes receiving either oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHAs) or insulin.Patients were recruited from West Suffolk Hospital Diabetes Centre. Data were acquired retrospectively from 207 patients completing six months of treatment.Of 207 patients, 188 demonstrated good clinical progress with a mean HbA1c reduction of 1.6% (p<0.0001) and weight loss of 6.9kg (p<0.0001). Nineteen patients discontinued exenatide as HbA1c reduction did not achieve the NICE target (0.4%; p=0.29), but they did achieve significant weight loss (5.6kg; p<0....

Those on BD were offered a change‐over to MDI. We collected data on HbA1c and body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS) between 2003 and 2009 at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and those who changed from BD to MDI and after 12 months.Eighty‐eight (45 female) children were started on BD insulin (group 1), 29 (10 female) were started on MDI (group 2), and 36 (20 female) children were started on BD and then changed to MDI (group 3).

At a time when diabetes teams are threatened by changes in the NHS, the division between mental and physical health services makes those with mental illness particularly vulnerable.The association between diabetes and mental illness has been recognised for over 350 years. The prevalence of diabetes in people with depression and severe mental illness (schizophrenia and bipolar illness) is increased two‐ to three‐fold. Furthermore, the proportion of people with undiagnosed diabetes is considerably higher than in the general population. The risk of complications and diabetes related mortality is higher in ...

The insulin dosage was based on patient weight and adjusted to BGL at pre‐specified times. Compliance of BGL measurements and insulin injections, and efficacy were evaluated prospectively. Fifty‐seven hospital inpatients with significant hyperglycaemia were treated and compared with 45 historical controls (with similar age, HbA1c and diabetes duration) treated with sliding scale insulin (SSI).The BGL (mean±SD) was significantly lower during BBB treatment (11.7±2.6 vs 13.6±2.4mmol/L; p<0.0001), while episodes of ...

Consumers, from teenagers to pensioners, were interviewed in a variety of locations including a town centre, a cafe, a supermarket, a commercial workplace, a leisure centre and a fast food restaurant.The majority of respondents (n=155, 88%) try to lead a healthy lifestyle with 149 (85%) reporting that eating healthily is important to them. Over half of respondents (n=102, 58%) read food labels when purchasing food and drink.

The prevalence of hyperTG was 20.9%, with lower prevalence in patients with low‐density lipoprotein (LDL)‐cholesterol <2.5mmol/L (13.7%), and LDL‐cholesterol <2.0mmol/L (8.8%). The prevalence of hyperTG plus low high‐density lipoprotein (HDL)‐cholesterol (≤0.9mmol/L) was lower at 6.0%. The independent predictors of hyperTG were waist circumference (odds ratio [OR] 1.033 [95% confidence interval 1.004–1.063], p=0.027) and glucose (OR 1.30 [1.05–1.61], p=0.01), with glucose being the sole predictor in patients with LDL‐choleste...

It is probably becoming more common as patients are urged to tighten their glycaemic control. The effects of improving glycaemic control on the background of increasing duration of diabetes are the main known risk factors for the condition. Antecedent hypoglycaemia diminishes physiological responses, and impairs the ability to identify further episodes, leading to a vicious downwards spiral and a high risk of further severe hypoglycaemic episodes. Fully established hypoglycaemia unawareness is thankfully rare, but difficulty in recognising the onset of hypoglycaemia is common. Therefore effective treatments to reverse or prevent hypoglycaemia unawareness are urgently needed.This review article ex...

Part of this project involved making recommendations about education of CYP and their families, as well as of health care professionals (HCPs). The following UK data collected in 2009 contributed to the SWEET final data collection. Information covered diabetes education to CYP with diabetes, their families, staff in schools and HCPs. An online questionnaire was circulated to HCPs who were involved in the care of CYP with diabetes.Responses from 100 HCPs were received, mainly from larger more specialised clinics and included all members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

A UK audit revealed 3881 wrong dose incidents and six deaths over six years (National Patient Safety Agency 2010, NPSA). The NPSA and NHS Diabetes launched a tri‐phase education initiative in June 2010, aimed at reducing error and including rapid response reports sent to all hospital and community trusts, written supporting information and recommendations, and access to an e‐learning module and assessment.The aim of this project was to improve all health care professionals' (HCPs') knowledge in the safe use of insulin through e‐learning.A safer use of insulin e‐learning module commissioned by NHS Diabetes and the NPSA was developed by a hospital trust and piloted by m...

The American Diabetes Association definition of dysglycaemia was used, defined by at least two elevated glucose recordings of fasting glucose ≥5.6mmol/L or post‐prandial glucose ≥7.8mmol/L.From a CF population of 43 patients, 10 were excluded (mainly due to clinic in‐attendance). Of the remaining 33 patients, 29 (88%) consented to perform glucose self‐monitoring, and 22 patients (67% of eligible patients and 76% of those consenting to take part) provided glucose data.

A subsequent literature review failed to identify a validated, suitable questionnaire for measuring knowledge. Consequently, we aimed to develop a minimum diabetes knowledge questionnaire (DKQ) suitable for people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Content validity was established through literature review, Delphi survey of 52 opinion leaders and a workshop of Australian Diabetes Educators (n ≥300). The resulting instrument was tested for internal consistency on 129 and for reliability on 57 people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively.The final questionnaire contains: 12 multiple...

The day before admission he developed numbness and pins and needles in his left foot. He had hypertension and diabetes which was diagnosed three years previously. His control was very good with latest HbA1c of 6.6% (49mmol/mol) on metformin only. He had no evidence of microvascular complications. He had extensive investigations which included CT head, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, tumour markers, prostatic specific antigen, autoantibody screen and protein electrophoresis, which were all normal.

Her diabetes was complicated by peripheral neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. She also had features of autonomic neuropathy. Short synacthen test ruled out adrenal insufficiency; thyroid function was normal. HbA1c was elevated at 14.6% (136mmol/mol). Abdominal computed tomography showed grossly dilated bladder (9.5cm x 14cm x 17.5cm), compressing the mid‐ureter. The size suggested an on‐going chronic process, consistent with diabetic cystopathy.An indwelling urethral catheter relieved the bladder distension and the patient was later successfully educated to void the bladder by the clock rather than bladder sensation. Euglycaemia was achieved wit...

Topics reviewed included: research methods, instruments to assess PIR, PIR in patients and in the medical care team, and proposed strategies for overcoming it.The results showed that a large number of factors account for PIR in patients. The main categories are emotional, cognitive, social/cultural, and interaction with health providers. Physicians mainly delay insulin because they lack knowledge on guidelines or pancreas physiology, they fear inducing hypoglycaemia in ...

Patients with stable coronary symptoms frequently have multiple risk factors and may have no assessment of glucose regulation. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in a group of patients with stable symptoms presenting for coronary angiography. A modified oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed on 182 unselected patients undergoing elective angiography. Patients with known DM were excluded. Demographic data including cardiovascular risk factors, body mass index (BMI), and history of CAD were recorded. In all, 182 patients with a mean...

His control had been consistently poor but he had minimal end organ damage. There was no significant past medical history or family history. He was a C1 driving licence holder, and the DVLA was aware of his diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.In January 2007 he unexpectedly lost 8kg in weight and found he required less insulin. He had frequent hypoglycaemic episodes, but did not seek medical attention.Five months later he was involved in a road traffic accident that was fatal to the other driver. The paramedics found him to be hypoglycaemic. This resulted in a custodial sentence, and lifetime driving ban.He was subsequently admitted to hospital to investigate his hypoglycaemia.

As a result of the historic failure to establish relevant long‐term controlled trials, however, there is a need to separate evidence from unfounded belief. The short‐term impact, operative morbidity and mortality rates, and potential long‐term surgical and metabolic side effects of most (but not all) of the common forms of bariatric surgery are reasonably well described. In contrast, the longer‐term evidence base for applying bariatric surgery as an approach to treating T2D is much weaker. While bariatric surgery may have a prolonged beneficial effect on hyperglycaemia, it also has risks, and its economics and sustainability are unpro...

In our hospital, to be considered for CSII, patients must be using MDI, and then undergo a Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) structured education course.We reviewed the records of the 21 patients with type 1 diabetes who had sequentially undergone MDI, then DAFNE and are now treated with CSII.HbA1c improved as patients increased the intensity of the management of diabetes despite reductions in total daily insulin dose.

Rates of attendance at postpartum diabetes screening were assessed, and reported barriers and facilitators to postpartum screening were grouped into themes.Of 187 eligible participants, 88 women were surveyed (aged 33±6 years, parity 1 [0‐5]). Half (53.4%) of respondents attended postpartum diabetes screening. Barriers to screening included a lack of awareness of the need to attend screening, the inconvenience associated with the two to three hour length of the OGTT, and the need to attend screening with infants and young children. Reported facilitators included improved awareness of the need for screening, multiple reminders, and ...

He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (capillary blood glucose 20.7mmol/L) but was not ketoacidotic (pH 7.43) and was commenced on intravenous fluids and an intravenous insulin infusion. After four hours of appropriate fluid resuscitation and normalisation of blood glucose, the patient had deteriorated becoming tachycardic and hypotensive. At this time the patient was reassessed and a short synacthen test with a baseline ACTH was carried out. Hydrocortisone was administered to the patient immediately after the short synacthen test.

Research in this area is often seen as an easy or soft option. On closer inspection, research of these ‘complex’ interventions requires rigorously conducted and well designed trials which are difficult to do and even harder to implement. The process of screening for type 2 diabetes is feasible and a number of practice level and self‐assessment tools are effective in the multi‐ethnic UK population; however, providing the evidence of whether a screening programme will lead to improved patient outcomes is more challenging.Providing structured self‐ma...

The country's Supreme Council of Health has recognised its significant health threat and has proposed the formation of a national diabetes plan. Baseline assessment of existing diabetes care can inform such design and implementation. The aim of this study was to inventory diabetes health care resources in Qatar.A prospective survey of private and public health care facilities serving outpatients in the country was conducted. A nine‐item questionnaire was administered to determine patient access, multidisciplinary services and availability of drug therapy.Thirty‐five (67%) of 52 identified health care settings participated.

The findings highlight the need for change if effective diabetes care is to be offered to the Maltese population. These changes are related to a highly complex, poorly understood health care system, and to the way in which it is structured and the way health care processes are managed in this highly specific national and ethnic culture....

We have evaluated the counselling service, looking for benefits for the participants.We undertook a retrospective analysis of data obtained for people referred to the service between June 2007 and June 2010, pre‐ and post‐attendance at the course of counselling.

The relatively mild hyperglycaemia of 11.1mmol/L led to delay in diagnosis and treatment of ketoacidosis.Women with gestational diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis if given steroid therapy antenatally and should be monitored closely for this. This case highlights how, during pregnancy, diabetic ketoacidosis may occur with only mild hyperglycaemia. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons.

It was noted that her episodes of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia with DKA were occurring monthly and before her menstrual periods. This effect required an increase in her basal insulin infusion rate by as much as four‐fold. The phenomenon of DKA associated with the menstrual cycle has been recognised previously and is termed ‘catamenial’ DKA. We discuss the prevalence, possible causes and clinical management of catamenial DKA. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons.

He developed respiratory failure shortly after admission so was intubated on the intensive therapy unit where he received tetanus immunoglobulin and a course of metronidazole.Kilic et al. compared the level of tetanus antitoxin between patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. They found a statistically significant difference between the groups, with people with diabetes having lower antitoxin levels. A further study shows that serum levels of tetanus antibody significantly decrease in diabetic patients older than 50 years of age.

Measurement of urinary ketones via the nitroprusside reaction is the most commonly employed diagnostic test; however, near patient testing of blood ketones is now widely available. In the clinical setting we wished to compare the utility of urine and blood ketone measurements to predict acid base balance and need for admission in patients with type 1 diabetes.A retrospective study was performed on 52 patients referred to the metabolic or acute receiving units of a teaching hospital. Urine and capillary ketone measurements, blood gas analysis and/or venous bicarbonate measurement were analysed together with the clinical outcome of either admission or discharge of the patient.Capillary β‐hydroxybuty...

During a three‐year period, 575 diabetic deaths occurred, accounting for 26.2% of all medical deaths. The mean age at death was 65.33±12.7 years. Cardiovascular disease (183 [31.8%]), cerebrovascular accidents (102 [17.7%]) and infection (83 [14.4%]) were the most common complications associated with diabetic deaths. Other causes were malignancy (10%), liver cirrhosis (5.6%), and acute diabetic complications (5%).

Diabetes care was provided by multidisciplinary teams which included general physicians and nurses as a minimum. Organisational arrangements were made to reduce waiting times, avoid rotation of staff, and provide adequate time for baseline and follow-up visits. Process and outcomes indicators of quality of diabetes care included body mass index, blood pressure, fasting/casual blood gluco...

A convenience sample of 307 outpatients with type 2 diabetes was identified between May and October 2009. All data were collected from the Penang General Hospital, Penang, Malaysia. Instruments consisted of the Malaysian version of the MDKT and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Medical records were reviewed for haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and other clinical data. Reliability was tested for internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.Employing the recommended scoring method, th...
