Aim
To determine whether an association exists between health insurance and diabetic retinopathy (DR) prevalence in adults with diabetes.
Methods
An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. 4530 Patients aged ≥ 18 with diabetes from 2011 to 2020 with various insurance types (no insurance, private, Medicare, Medicaid, or other) were evaluated for prevalence of DR, including covariates. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analysis were conducted to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI).
Results
There was no significant association between insurance status and DR prevalence when adjusting for confounders. OR for DR in patients without insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance compared to those with private insurance were 1.13 (95 % CI 0.74–1.71), 0.78 (95 % CI 0.54–1.13), 1.20 (95 % CI 0.80–1.81), and 0.81 (95 % CI 0.47–1.37) respectively. However, factors like age ≥ 65 and use of diabetes medication were associated with reduced DR prevalence.
Conclusion
Although insurance status alone does not have an association with the prevalence of DR, this study highlights several confounding variables that potentially influence previously reported associations between insurance status and DR.
目的:确定健康保险与成人糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)患病率之间是否存在关联。方法:利用国家健康与营养检查调查数据库进行分析性横断面研究。4530例年龄≥ 18岁的2011 - 2020年各种保险类型(无保险、私人、医疗保险、医疗补助或其他)的糖尿病患者进行了DR患病率评估,包括协变量。进行未校正和校正logistic回归分析,计算优势比(OR)和95% %置信区间(CI)。结果:在调整混杂因素后,保险状况与DR患病率之间没有显著关联。无保险、医疗保险、医疗补助或其他保险的患者与有私人保险的患者相比,DR的OR分别为1.13(95 % CI 0.74-1.71)、0.78(95 % CI 0.54-1.13)、1.20(95 % CI 0.80-1.81)和0.81(95 % CI 0.47-1.37)。然而,年龄≥ 65岁和使用糖尿病药物等因素与DR患病率降低有关。结论:虽然保险状况本身与DR患病率没有关联,但本研究强调了几个可能影响先前报道的保险状况与DR之间关联的混杂变量。

Aims
To quantify healthcare service utilization over the past two years according to the foot risk level in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methodology
A descriptive observational study was conducted in a Primary Care Nursing consultation, evaluating patients with T2DM through examination and collection of sociodemographic and clinical data.
Results
A total of 153 patients were included. The prevalence of underdiagnosis was 71.2 % for neuropathy and 59.5 % for peripheral arterial disease. Patients with a high foot risk level had more consultations in PC Nursing for foot-related issues (2022 y 2023; p=<0.001). The number of hospitalization days in 2022 was also higher in patients with a high foot risk. Patients with diagnosed neuropathy consistently utilized healthcare services more frequently than those with undiagnosed or no neuropathy across most categories.
Conclusion
Patients with a high foot risk level consume more healthcare resources. Early detection and management of diabetic foot is crucial to avoid underdiagnosis, optimize resource use, and prevent serious complications.

Aims
Several methods are available to help identify people with depression; however, there is little guidance on when to start screening. This study estimated the incidence of new depressive episodes and identified factors associated with onset in adults with newly treated type 2 diabetes.
Methods
Administrative health data from Alberta, Canada was used to identify people starting metformin between April 2011 and March 2015. People with a history of depression before metformin initiation were excluded. Person-time analysis was used to calculate the incidence rate of new depressive episodes over the next 3 years, stratified by sex, age, and year. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with a new depressive episode.
Results
42,694 adults initiated metformin; mean age 56 years, 38 % female. A new depressive episode occurred in 2752 (6 %) individuals, mean time to onset was 1.4 years and overall incidence rate was 22.3/1000 person-years. Factors associated with a new depressive episode were female sex, younger age, previous mental health conditions, frequent healthcare utilization, and multiple comorbid conditions.
Conclusions
Screening for depression should begin within 1–2 years of metformin initiation and focus on females, those < 55 years old, those with a history of mental health conditions, and those with multiple comorbid conditions.

Aims
To analyze glycemic and bodyweight control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and prescribing patterns in primary care.
Methods
We reviewed the electronic medical records of 5009 randomly selected T2DM patients, from 70 health centers in Spain. We analyzed results by age group and presence/absence of obesity. All data were collected in 2022.
Results
Regarding treatment, 13.2 % of the sample were on lifestyle therapy only, 76.5 % received metformin, 37.6 % SGLT2 inhibitors, 32.2 % DPP-4 inhibitors, 12.2 % GLP-1 agonists, 18.9 % insulin, 6.5 % sulfonylureas, and 1.3 % glitazones. Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) was below 7 % in 57.7 % of patients, and 62.3 % met their individualized HbA1c targets. Overall, 42 % of the population was obese (45.6 % of women vs 39.1 % of men; p = 0.001). Obesity rates decreased with age in both sexes. We found no association between obesity and poor glycemic control (HbA1c<7 %) (43,5 % vs 41,4 %; p = 0,17).
Conclusions
In 2022, over 60 % of people with T2DM treated by family doctors in Spain met their individualized glycemic control targets, but only one in three had good glycemic control without obesity. The use of drugs with cardiorenal benefits (particularly SGLT2 inhibitors) is higher than previous published data in our setting.

Background
Diabetes mellitus is a rapidly growing health illness worldwide and its incidence is expected to continue rising. Various complications have been cited including retinopathy, nephropathy, peripheral artery disease and ulceration among others. However, rarer complications such as diabetic myonecrosis are limited in literature. This case report demonstrates the presentation of this complication to allow for earlier detection and treatment by providers.
Case report
This case highlights a 49-year-old man with an extensive past medical history inclusive of diabetes mellitus type 2, who presented with acute onset left thigh pain and swelling. On presentation, the patient has an HbA1c of 8 % and hyperpigmented spots were noted bilaterally on the lower extremities. Initial management was centered around infectious etiologies and management which failed to improve his symptoms. Further work-up included a negative lower extremity duplex ultrasound and a CT scan showing a hypodense lesion in the left lower extremity. Following unsuccessful drainage of the lesion to assess for a possible abscess, MRI of the lower extremities showed bilateral myositis and myonecrosis centered in the left vastus medialis.
Conclusion
This case report highlights a rare complication of diabetes mellitus known as diabetic myonecrosis (DMN). The gold-standard diagnostic tool is a muscle biopsy, however, sensitive imaging like MRI and clinical context are sufficient for a diagnosis. Supportive care centered around pain management remains the standard of care. While this remains as a diagnosis of exclusion, early identification may decrease the number of unnecessary treatments and should remain as a differential in patients with this presentation.

Purpose
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the factors influencing the uptake of culturally-tailored Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) programmes among ethnic minority patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
A systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines, was conducted, including quantitative research studies published in peer-reviewed journals from January 2013 to January 2023. Studies were extracted via the following databases, AMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, EMCARE, PSYCHINFO, Ovid Nursing, and grey literature. Studies were selected based on eligibility criteria including the evaluation of DSMES programmes tailored for ethnic minorities and involving adult participants with T2DM. The factors affecting the uptake of these programs were mapped against the three categories of the Andersen's Behavioural Model of Health Services Use: predisposing, enabling, and need factors. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklist, and a narrative synthesis was conducted to analyse the findings.
Results
Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, demonstrating that culturally-tailored DSMES programmes significantly improve uptake among ethnic minorities. Key factors influencing participation included demographic characteristics, diabetes knowledge, emotional support, and cultural beliefs. Barriers such as language proficiency, cost, and diabetes fatalism were identified, while enablers included the use of local champions and culturally specific strategies.
Conclusions
This systematic review highlights the effectiveness of culturally-tailored DSMES programmes in improving health outcomes among ethnic minority groups. It suggests that more research is needed to explore these barriers and develop strategies to enhance the uptake of DSMES programmes among underserved populations.

Aims
This study aims to describe pain management technique usage and social functioning limitations among adults with chronic pain by diabetes status.
Methods
The 2019 and 2020 National Health Interview Survey data were pooled to complete this analysis. Use of the following techniques in the past 3 months were measured: 1) prescription opioids; 2) physical, rehabilitative, or occupational therapy; 3) talk therapies; 4) chiropractic care; 5) yoga, Tai Chi, or Qi Gong; 6) massage; and 7) relaxation techniques. The social functioning limitations assessed were: 1) doing errands alone; 2) participating in social activities; and 3) work limitations. Weighted prevalence and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for each outcome by diabetes status. Logistic regression was used to estimate age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios (aORs) to assess differences by diabetes status.
Results
Adults with diabetes and chronic pain were more likely to use prescription opioids (aOR: 1.4; 95 % CI: 1.2, 1.6) but less likely to use various nonpharmacological techniques than those without diabetes. Additionally, adults with diabetes and chronic pain were more likely to report each social functioning limitation than those without diabetes.
Conclusions
Results suggest adults with diabetes and chronic pain may be missing beneficial opportunities to manage pain.

Aim
The association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and prediabetes using the STOP-Bang questionnaire remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of prediabetes among people based on their sleep apnea status.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 10131 Korean adults without diabetes with information of STOP-Bang scores, drawn from the dataset of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019–2021. Prediabetes was defined in three subsets: only by fasting blood glucose (FBG) (FBG 100–125 mg/dL, HbA1c <5.7 %), only by HbA1c (FBG <100 mg/dL, HbA1c 5.7–6.4 %) or by both. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for prediabetes.
Results
A total of 3828 subjects reported a STOP-Bang score of ≥ 3, which shows increased risk of OSA. Multivariable-adjusted OR (95 % CI) showed that a STOP-Bang score ≥ 3 was associated with prediabetes meeting both FBG and HbA1c criteria (OR 1.06; 95 % CI 1.01–1.12). This association was statistically significant among women, particularly postmenopausal women (OR 1.20, 95 % CI 1.10–1.30; OR 1.21, 95 % CI 1.11–1.32, respectively).
Conclusion
In Korean general population, a significant correlation between higher OSA risk and prediabetes was observed, especially in postmenopausal women.

Aims
This large population-based study aimed to investigate whether arterial stiffness, assessed oscillometrically, was associated with incident diabetes/prediabetes.
Methods
The study sample comprised 4240 participants from the Vitamin D Assessment (ViDA) Study (mean±SD age = 66 ± 8). Arterial stiffness was assessed from 5 April 2011–6 November 2012 by way of aortic PWV (aPWV) and estimated carotid-femoral PWV (ecfPWV). Incident diabetes/prediabetes was determined by linkage to dispensed prescription and national hospital discharge registers. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the risk of diabetes/prediabetes in relation to chosen arterial stiffness measures both overall and over quartiles.
Results
During a mean±SD follow-up of 10.5 ± 0.4 years, 470 participants developed diabetes/prediabetes. Following adjustment for potential confounders, aPWV (hazard ratio (HR) per SD increase, 1.40, 95 % CI, 1.19–1.64) was associated with the incidence of diabetes. The risk of incident diabetes was, compared to the first quartile, higher in the fourth quartile of aPWV (HR, 1.98, 95 %CI, 1.26–3.11)(Ptrend=0.01).
Conclusions
Arterial stiffness, as measured by aPWV may be a useful predictor of incident diabetes that can be utilized in clinical practice.
