Introduction and Objective: A pilot randomized controlled trial among inner-city African Americans with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c >=8%) tested the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of conditional and unconditional cash transfers.Methods: 100 participants were randomized to receive: 1) unconditional cash transfers (UCT) of $500 per month for 6 months and mailed diabetes education every […]

Introduction and Objective: Cytokine profiling is crucial in understanding immune responses and disease mechanisms, yet existing analytical tools often fall short in addressing the unique complexities of cytokine data. This study introduces CytoProfile, an R-based software tailored for comprehensive cytokine analysis. The objective was to evaluate its integration of advanced statistical and machine learning methods […]

Introduction and Objective: This study compared accuracy and glycemic control using Dexcom G6 and G7 real-time continuous glucose monitors (rtCGM) integrated into an insulin infusion computer calculator (IICC) workflow for critically ill adult inpatients.Methods: A retrospective analysis evaluated 13 ICU patients using Dexcom G6 and 35 using G7, integrated into an institution-developed IICC workflow using […]

Introduction and Objective: To evaluate effects of a family program on adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their parents.Methods: Parent-adolescent dyads (n=157) were randomly assigned to the intervention condition or a waitlisted control. The intervention included 6 weekly 30-minute sessions for dyads to meet with an interventionist to learn communication and problem-solving skills related to […]

Introduction and Objective: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are recommended for individuals with diabetes using rapid- or short-acting insulin, but many eligible individuals do not use them. This study compared healthcare costs and utilization between CGM users and non-users.Methods: Claims data from the Mariner Commercial Claims Database (January 1, 2010-April 30, 2022) were analyzed. Adults (≥18 […]

Introduction and Objective: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus. In recent years, exercise has been reported to be potentially effective in preventing nephropathy. However, the relationship with resistance training(RT) is not clear. In this study, we researched the effect of resistance RT on the progression of nephropathy in patients […]

Introduction and Objective: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of acute pancreatitis (AP) and biliary events. Existing evidence is mixed regarding the association between second-line diabetes medications and AP and biliary events.Methods: Using Medicare and 2 U.S. private health plans (2014-2021), we identified three pairwise cohorts of propensity score (PS) fine […]

Introduction and Objective: The association between sedentary behavior (SB) and glycemic profiles in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is unclear. This study aimed to examine this relationship cross-sectionally.Methods: Ninety-three Japanese adults with T1D participated in this study (75 women; age: 45.0 [36.0-55.0] years, HbA1c: 7.3 [6.8-8.1] %, median [25%-75% quartiles]). Physical activity (PA) was […]

Introduction and Objective: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known to impact the health and well-being of those living with T1D. Less is known regarding how ACEs of a primary caregiver (parent, grandparent, etc.) may indirectly impact youth with chronic health conditions – potentially via influence on parenting practices. The current study investigates the relationship between […]

Introduction and Objective: Physical activity (PA) is a well-known intervention resulting in weight loss, improved physical fitness and metabolic parameters, thereby contributing to reduced risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Interventions promoting healthy lifestyle are more likely to succeed if they are culturally tailored. The goal of this […]
