Not meeting recommended A1C targets may be associated with postoperative complications in adults, but there are no studies reporting on the relationship between preoperative A1C and postoperative complications in children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine whether elevated A1C levels were associated with an increased incidence of postoperative complications in children with diabetes presenting for elective noncardiac surgery or diagnostic procedures. It found no such association, suggesting no need to delay elective surgery in children with diabetes until A1C is optimized.
Uncontrolled diabetes negatively affects millions of people in the United States and contributes to significant health burden. Many people with diabetes require high insulin doses to achieve glycemic control, but glycemia in this group has historically been difficult to manage. This retrospective, case-control study evaluated which therapeutic interventions and patient factors were associated with an improvement in A1C in people with type 2 diabetes using high-dose insulin at a county health system serving primarily low-income patients. Medication nonadherence was found to be the most influential factor affecting glycemic control in these individuals.
Manufacturers continue to improve performance and usability of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. As CGM becomes a standard of care, especially for people on insulin therapy, it is important to routinely gauge how satisfied people with diabetes are with this technology. This article describes survey feedback from a large cohort of people with diabetes using older and current CGM systems and highlights areas of current satisfaction, concern, and future system improvement.
