Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent estimates indicate that a significant proportion of diabetic patients globally, up to 51%, are utilizing complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). To improve patient-provider communication and optimize prescribed treatments, healthcare professionals (HCPs) must understand the factors associated with CAM use among diabetic patients. There is a dearth of literature on HCPs perspectives on CAM use by diabetic patients. This study explored HCPs knowledge, perspective, and views on their diabetic patients' use of CAM. METHODS Qualitative study using one-to-one semi-structured interviews conducted with 22 HCPs involved in the care of diabetic patients (6 endocrinologists, 4 general practitioners, 4 nurses and 8 pharmacists). Participants were recruited through general practices, community pharmacies and a diabetic centre in Saudi Arabia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Five key themes resulted from the analysis. HCPs generally demonstrated negative perceptions toward CAM, particularly regarding their evidence-based effectiveness and safety. Participants described having limited interactions with diabetic patients regarding CAM use due to HCPs' lack of knowledge about CAM, limited consultation time and strict consultation protocols. Participants perceived convenience as the reason why patients use CAM. They believed many users lacked patience with prescribed medications to deliver favourable clinical outcomes and resorted to CAM use. CONCLUSIONS HCPs have noted inadequate engagement with diabetic patients regarding CAM due to a lack of knowledge and resources. To ensure the safe use of CAM in diabetes and optimize prescribed treatment outcomes, one must address the communication gap by implementing a flexible consultation protocol and duration. Additionally, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based information should be available to HCPs and diabetic patients.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is unclear. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been suggested as a viable option for treatment of SSNHL as it improves vascular dysfunction. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of HBOT by retrospectively reviewing the records of 2206 patients with SSNHL. 54 who had received HBOT were selected for the HBOT groups, while 59 age-matched controls who had not were selected for the control groups. The HBOT and control groups were divided into subgroups according to intratympanic steroid (ITS) use. Groups A-D had received oral steroids + HBOT, oral steroids only, oral steroids + ITS + HBOT, and oral steroids + ITS, respectively. Of the 113 SSNHL patients, 21 had diabetes mellitus (DM) (2, 0, 9, and 10 patients in Groups A-D, respectively). There was no notable difference in hearing improvement between patients receiving HBOT and those in the control group. However, among diabetic patients, those who underwent HBOT demonstrated a significant improvement in hearing when compared to the control group. The combination of HBOT and steroids could potentially be beneficial for treating severe to profound SSNHL patients with DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For adults living with HIV (ALHIV) and comorbidities, access to comprehensive healthcare services is crucial to achieving optimal health outcomes. This study aims to describe lived experiences, challenges, and coping strategies for accessing care for hypertension and/or diabetes (HTN/DM) in HIV care and treatment clinics (CTCs) and other healthcare settings. METHODOLOGY We conducted a qualitative study that employed a phenomenological approach between January and April 2022 using a semi-structured interview guide in six HIV CTCs in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We purposively recruited 33 ALHIV with HTN (n = 16), DM (n = 10), and both (n = 7). Thematic content analysis was guided by the 5As framework of access to care. FINDINGS The majority of the participants were females, between the ages of 54-73, and were recruited from regional referral hospitals. HIV CTCs at regional referral hospitals had more consistent provision of HTN screening services compared to those from district hospitals and health centers. Participants sought HTN/DM care at non-CTC health facilities due to the limited availability of such services at HIV CTCs. However, healthcare delivery for these conditions was perceived as unaccommodating and poorly coordinated. The need to attend multiple clinic appointments for the management of HTN/DM in addition to HIV care was perceived as frustrating, time-consuming, and financially burdensome. High costs of care and transportation, limited understanding of comorbidities, and the perceived complexity of HTN/DM care contributed to HTN/DM treatment discontinuity. As a means of coping, participants frequently monitored their own HTN/DM symptoms at home and utilized community pharmacies and dispensaries near their residences to check blood pressure and sugar levels and obtain medications. Participants expressed a preference for non-pharmaceutical approaches to comorbidity management such as lifestyle modification (preferred by young participants) and herbal therapies (preferred by older participants) because of concerns about side effects and perceived ineffectiveness of HTN/DM medications. Participants also preferred integrated care and focused patient education on multimorbidity management at HIV CTCs. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight significant barriers to accessing HTN/DM care among ALHIV, mostly related to affordability, availability, and accessibility. Integration of NCD care into HIV CTCs, could greatly improve ALHIV health access and outcomes and align with patient preference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Severe hypoglycaemia (SH) imposes a significant burden for people with diabetes (PwD), their caregivers (CGs), and the healthcare system. The study aimed to identify barriers and solutions in the management of SH in PwD in Spain, gathering consensus from physicians and nurses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Expert opinion from physicians and nurses who manage PwD was collected via a 2-round online Delphi method. Consensus was predefined as ≥ 70% of the panellists agreeing or disagreeing with the statement. RESULTS Physicians (n = 25) and nurses (n = 17) reached ≥ 90% consensus on the following barriers for the management of SH: absence of symptoms, cost to the health system, lack of implementation of glucose monitoring devices, lack of patient training to identify and manage SH, and the fear of SH in children and CGs. Main solutions, identified with ≥ 70% consensus, included training, education, and psychological support using diabetes nurse educators and the use of new glucose monitoring technologies and applications. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable insights on the barriers and solutions in the management of SH in Spain. Structured self-management training, the support of diabetes educators, and the use of insulin delivery devices and glucose monitoring technologies is required for the management of SH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is causally linked to impaired host glucose metabolism. We aimed to study effects of the new method of fecal microbiota transplantation, washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), on reducing glycemic variability (GV) in unstable diabetes. METHODS Fourteen eligible patients received three allogenic WMTs and were followed up at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Primary outcomes were daily insulin dose, glucose excursions during meal tests, and GV indices calculated from continuous monitoring or self-monitoring glucose values. Secondary outcomes were multiomics data, including 16S rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomics, and metabolomics to explore underlying mechanisms. RESULTS Daily insulin dose and glucose excursions markedly dropped, whereas GV indices significantly improved up to 1 month. WMT increased gut microbial alpha diversity, beta diversity, and network complexity. Taxonomic changes featured lower abundance of genera Bacteroides and Escherichia-Shigella, and higher abundance of genus Prevotella. Metagenomics functional annotations revealed enrichment of distinct microbial metabolic pathways, including methane biosynthesis, citrate cycle, amino acid degradation, and butyrate production. Derived metabolites correlated significantly with improved GV indices. WMT did not change circulating inflammatory cytokines, enteroendocrine hormones, or C-peptide. CONCLUSIONS WMT showed strong ameliorating effect on GV, raising the possibility of targeting gut microbiota as an effective regimen to reduce GV in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly people with diabetes are among high-risk groups that require more attention. With the increasing use of technology in healthcare, much emphasis has been placed on telehealth because of its potential to reduce unnecessary healthcare services consumption. We aimed to review and analyse the evidence of various interventions on the effect of using telehealth on biomedical, behavioural, and psychosocial outcomes in patients with diabetes over 50 years. METHODS The search method of this systematic synthesis without meta-analysis was guided by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews (PRISMA) and the new reporting guideline synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM) in systematic reviews. A coherent search strategy was designed to retrieve articles in databases such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to June 2020. We excluded articles with eligibility criteria of the age of under 50 years old and studies conducted on patients with gestational diabetes. The outcomes were categorized into biomedical, behavioural, and psychosocial outcomes. The methodology of articles was evaluated by the Standard Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool in Revman 5.3 software. FINDINGS Overall, 18 studies with 8273 patients with diabetes over the age of 50 were included in this systematic review. Biomedical outcomes such as blood sugar tests and cholesterol tests had significant improvement by using telehealth. Frequency of self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) and self-efficacy were behavioural outcomes that increased by telehealth utilization. Telehealth had a positive impact on psychosocial outcomes like depression, quality of life (QoL), cognitive decline, and social support. INTERPRETATION Telehealth has the ability to improve multiple outcomes such as behavioural and psychosocial outcomes in health services consumers. Due to varied telehealth interventions and follow-up durations, firm conclusions cannot be reached. As the research investigations studied in the present study were of different kinds and had used different follow-up periods, there is a need for further rigorous studies which consider socio-economic, cultural, and clinical differences.

Abstract
Mobile healthcare has emerged as a prominent technological solution for self-management of health. However, the development and utilization of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus remain limited. This study examined the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use and further explored how this relationship varies with eHealth literacy and application design among older adults with diabetes mellitus. A descriptive cross-sectional trial was conducted with a structured self-report questionnaire, surveying 252 South Korean older adults with diabetes mellitus via offline and online modes. The mediating effect and moderated mediating effect were analyzed with the PROCESS macro of SPSS. eHealth literacy mediated the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use. High levels of eHealth literacy and social support may increase mobile healthcare use among older adults with diabetes. Application design aesthetics facilitated mobile healthcare use. Future researchers, healthcare providers, and developers can contribute to the development of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus by considering application design aspects such as font size, color, and menu configuration.

Abstract
The objective was to assess the value of routinely collected patient-reported health-related social needs (HRSNs) measures for predicting utilization and health outcomes. The authors identified Mayo Clinic patients with cancer, diabetes, or heart failure. The HRSN measures were collected as part of patient-reported screenings from June to December 2019 and outcomes (hospitalization, 30-day readmission, and death) were ascertained in 2020. For each outcome and disease combination, 4 models were used: gradient boosting machine (GBM), random forest (RF), generalized linear model (GLM), and elastic net (EN). Other predictors included clinical factors, demographics, and area-based HRSN measures-area deprivation index (ADI) and rurality. Predictive performance for models was evaluated with and without the routinely collected HRSN measures as change in area under the curve (AUC). Variable importance was also assessed. The differences in AUC were mixed. Significant improvements existed in 3 models of death for cancer (GBM: 0.0421, RF: 0.0496, EN: 0.0428), 3 models of hospitalization (GBM: 0.0372, RF: 0.0640, EN: 0.0441), and 1 of death (RF: 0.0754) for diabetes, and 1 model of readmissions (GBM: 0.1817), and 3 models of death (GBM: 0.0333, RF: 0.0519, GLM: 0.0489) for heart failure. Age, ADI, and the Charlson comorbidity index were the top 3 in variable importance and were consistently more important than routinely collected HRSN measures. The addition of routinely collected HRSN measures resulted in mixed improvement in the predictive performance of the models. These findings suggest that existing factors and the ADI are more important for prediction in these contexts. More work is needed to identify predictors that consistently improve model performance.

Abstract
Diabetes has been a significant healthcare problem worldwide for a considerable period. The primary objective of diabetic treatment plans is to control the symptoms associated with the pathology. To effectively combat diabetes, it is crucial to comprehend the disease's etiology, essential factors, and the relevant processes involving β-cells. The development of the pancreas, maturation, and maintenance of β-cells, and their role in regular insulin function are all regulated by PDX1. Therefore, understanding the regulation of PDX1 and its interactions with signaling pathways involved in β-cell differentiation and proliferation are crucial elements of alternative diabetes treatment strategies. The present review aims to explore the protective role of PDX1 in β-cell proliferation through signaling pathways. The main keywords chosen for this review include "PDX1 for β-cell mass," "β-cell proliferation," "β-cell restoration via PDX1," and "mechanism of PDX1 in β-cells." A comprehensive literature search was conducted using various internet search engines, such as PubMed, Science Direct, and other publication databases. We summarize several approaches to generating β-cells from alternative cell sources, employing PDX1 under various modified growth conditions and different transcriptional factors. Our analysis highlights the unique potential of PDX1 as a promising target in molecular and cell-based therapies for diabetes.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered disruptions to health care and lifestyles that could conceivably impact diabetes management. We set out to identify the impact of disruptions caused by COVID-19 on clinical outcomes in people with diabetes. We performed a systematic review of the available literature in the MEDLINE and OVID databases from Jan 1, 2020, to June 7, 2023, and included 138 studies (n>1 000 000 people). All but five studies were judged to be at some risk of bias. All studies compared prepandemic with pandemic periods. All-cause mortality (six studies) and diabetes-related mortality (13 studies) showed consistent increases, and most studies indicated increases in sight loss (six studies). In adult and mixed samples, data generally suggested no difference in diabetic ketoacidosis frequency or severity, whereas in children and adolescents most studies showed increases with some due to new-onset diabetes (69 studies). Data suggested decreases in hospital admissions in adults but increases in diabetes-related admissions to paediatric intensive care units (35 studies). Data were equivocal on diabetic foot ulcer presentations (nine studies), emergency department admissions (nine studies), and overall amputation rates (20 studies). No studies investigated renal failure. Where reported, the impact was most pronounced for females, younger people, and racial and ethnic minority groups. Further studies are needed to investigate the longer-term impact of the pandemic and the on potential differential impacts, which risk further exacerbating existing inequalities within people with diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The following overview article summarizes the most important aspects of diagnosis and screening and provides an overview on the current evidence of glucose-lowering and heart failure treatment in patients with diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Patients with diabetes exhibit an increased risk to develop heart failure and the presence of both comorbidities has a major impact on the prognosis of these patients. Thus, it is of utmost importance to detect heart failure in patients with diabetes and to screen all patients with heart failure for the presence of diabetes. Moreover, the diagnosis of heart failure in diabetes often requires an adjustment of medical therapy. The presence of the 2 comorbidities, heart failure and diabetes, in a given patient which has a major impact on the prognosis and implementation of guideline-directed therapies to reduce cardiovascular risk in this high-risk population is of critical importance.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disorder of insulin and glucose metabolism. It affects more than 463 million people worldwide and is expected to reach 700 million by 2045. In the Southeast Asian region, the prevalence of DM has tripled to 115 million due to rapid urbanization, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyles, and genetic factors. In Nepal, a developing country, DM affects 8.5% of adults, with an alarming increase in recent years. Lack of diabetes education and limited populational adoption of behavioural changes further hamper care. METHODS In the present study, we performed a scoping review to determine the status of awareness, attitudes, and knowledge about diabetes in the Nepalese population with a focus on the educational initiatives that have been implemented. We also conducted a two-week international case study discussion among medical students to brainstorm viable intervention strategies. RESULTS Our findings indicate that limited data is available on the level of education or initiatives to improve knowledge and practice among healthcare professionals and community members. Targeted studies of people with diabetes also present heterogeneous results due to differences in the sample population, geographic location, education, age, and gender. Accordingly, we propose five interrelated education-based strategies that leverage existing networks to expand community outreach and engagement, improve system resilience, and improve health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Effective education for healthcare professionals, community, and patients with diabetes is vital in improving diabetes outcomes in Nepal and South Asia. Collaboration, funding, and evaluation are key areas needing reform.

Abstract
AIM To assess patients' and healthcare professionals' perspectives of a specialist-led Diabetes Risk-based Assessment Clinic (DIRAC) for people with diabetes at high risk of complications (PWDHRC) in areas of deprivation in Coventry, UK. METHODS A qualitative evaluation of a pilot trial, comprising a specialist team intervention (DIRAC), was undertaken in seven GP practices through observations of weekly virtual or occasional face-to-face patient consultations and monthly interventionists' meetings. Semi-structured interviews were carried out post-intervention, with PWDHRC, primary care clinicians and diabetes specialists (interventionists). Thematic analyses of observations and interviews were undertaken. KEY FINDINGS Over 12 months, 28 DIRAC clinics comprising 154 patient consultations and five interventionists' meetings, were observed. 19 interviews were undertaken, PWDHRC experienced 'culturally-sensitive care from a specialist-led clinic intervention encompassing integrated care. This model of care was recommended at GP practice level, all participants (PWDHRC, primary care clinicians and diabetes specialist interventionists) felt upskilled to deal with complex diabetes care. The EMIS and ECLIPSE technologies utilised during the intervention were perceived to positively contribute to diabetes management of PWDHRC despite reservations around cost and database. CONCLUSION The specialist-led DIRACs were largely appreciated by study participants. These qualitative data support the trial progressing to a full-service evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE People living with diabetes and not using insulin may not derive clinically significant benefit from routine glucose self-monitoring. As a result, in 2015, British Columbia (BC) introduced quantity restrictions for blood glucose test strips (BGTS) coverage in public plans. We studied the impact of this policy on utilization, costs, and health-care utilization. METHODS We identified a cohort of adults (≥18 years old) with diabetes between 2013 and 2019. Using BC's administrative data, we studied utilization and costs among individuals with at least one PharmaCare-eligible BGTS claim. Using interrupted time-series analysis, we studied cost savings and determined the level of policy adherence. In addition, we investigated longitudinal changes in all-cause and diabetes-specific physician visits, all-cause hospitalizations, and health-care spending in the 3 to 5 years after policy implementation. RESULTS Over the study period, 279.7 million BGTS were eligible for PharmaCare coverage, on which the government spent $124.3 million. After policy implementation, we observed an immediate decline in average utilization and PharmaCare expenditure on BGTS, leading to an estimated $44.6 million in savings between 2015 and 2019 (95% confidence interval $16.9 to $72.3 million). We found no association between the policy's implementation and health services utilization or overall health-care spending over the long term. CONCLUSIONS Restricting reimbursement for BGTS in BC resulted in significant cost savings without any attendant increase in health services utilization over the subsequent 5 years. This disinvestment freed up resources that could be channeled toward other interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the role of patient-perceived access to primary care in mediating and moderating racial and ethnic disparities in hypertension control and diabetes control among Veterans Health Administration (VA) users. DATA SOURCE AND STUDY SETTING We performed a secondary analysis of national VA user administrative data for fiscal years 2016-2019. STUDY DESIGN Our primary exposure was race or ethnicity and primary outcomes were binary indicators of hypertension control (<140/90 mmHg) and diabetes control (HgbA1c < 9%) among patients with known disease. We used the inverse odds-weighting method to test for mediation and logistic regression with race and ethnicity-by-perceived access interaction product terms to test moderation. All models were adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status, rurality, education, self-rated physical and mental health, and comorbidities. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS We included VA users with hypertension and diabetes control data from the External Peer Review Program who had contemporaneously completed the Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients-Patient-Centered Medical Home. Hypertension (34,233 patients) and diabetes (23,039 patients) samples were analyzed separately. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS After adjustment, Black patients had significantly lower rates of hypertension control than White patients (75.5% vs. 78.8%, p < 0.01); both Black (81.8%) and Hispanic (80.4%) patients had significantly lower rates of diabetes control than White patients (85.9%, p < 0.01 for both differences). Perceived access was lower among Black, Multi-Race and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders compared to White patients in both samples. There was no evidence that perceived access mediated or moderated associations between Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, and hypertension or diabetes control. CONCLUSIONS We observed disparities in hypertension and diabetes control among minoritized patients. There was no evidence that patients' perception of access to primary care mediated or moderated these disparities. Reducing racial and ethnic disparities within VA in hypertension and diabetes control may require interventions beyond those focused on improving patient access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Family members (FMs) are a valuable source of support, as the bulk of daily diabetes treatment occurs at home. Family members' insufficient understanding of patient support can lead to poor diabetes outcomes. Lack of knowledge about good diet and exercise can lead to unhealthy food preparation and sedentary lifestyles, affecting patients and increasing the risk of diabetes. This study aims to fill the gap in the level of knowledge of FMs relating to appropriate care for diabetic patients under their care. This will relate specifically to diet and exercise. METHODS A cross-sectional survey conducted in Senwabarwana, Limpopo province, involved 200 FMs caring for diabetic patients for at least 6 months. Their experience could offer valuable insights into the competence of their care. Data were collected regarding knowledge and practice using a close-ended questionnaire, with Likert scale responses and SPSS analysis, including descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests. Knowledge was assessed on a scale ranging from poor to excellent: poor (0% - 50%), fair (51% - 60%), good (61% - 74%) and excellent ( 75%). Practice was assessed as poor (0% - 50%), fair (51% - 69%) and good (70% - 100%). RESULTS Thirty-one percent of participants demonstrated excellent knowledge and only 9% demonstrated good practice. Unfortunately, 53% stated that obese patients with diabetes should skip meals to lose weight. Only 3.5% and 19%, respectively, are familiar with recommendations for exercise and glucose monitoring. Barely 35.5% of FMs eat breakfast every day, while 87.5% report exercising. CONCLUSION Few FMs possess excellent diabetes management knowledge but still indulge in bad practices, increasing their risk of developing diabetes. Additionally, they may potentially cause health problems for patients.Contribution: Family-centred behaviour change intervention is recommended.

Abstract
Despite robust knowledge regarding the socio-economic and cultural factors affecting Latino* access to healthcare, limited research has explored service utilization in the context of comorbid conditions like diabetes and depression. This qualitative study, embedded in a larger mixed-methods project, aimed to investigate perceptions held by Latinos and their social support systems (i.e., family members) regarding comorbid diabetes and depression and to identify barriers and facilitators to their help-seeking behaviors and treatment engagement. Bilingual and bicultural researchers conducted eight focus groups with 94 participants in a large U.S. metropolitan area and were primarily conducted in Spanish. The participants either had a diagnosis of diabetes and depression or were closely associated with someone who did. This study identified key individual and structural barriers and facilitators affecting healthcare access and treatment for Latinos living with comorbid diagnoses. A thematic analysis revealed structural barriers to healthcare access, including financial burdens and navigating healthcare institutions. Personal barriers included fears, personal responsibility, and negative family dynamics. Facilitators included accessible information, family support, and spirituality. These findings underscore the need to address these multi-level factors and for healthcare institutions and providers to actively involve Hispanic community members in developing services and interventions.

Abstract
There is a large burden of diabetes in Western Sydney, and this descriptor is also valid for the inpatient population. Optimizing diabetes care in hospital is important to prevent inpatient morbidity. A surveillance system was developed to address this need and a diabetes dashboard was developed around a data model built around the patient journey that integrated key data feeds from the pathology, medication, and patient administration systems. This facilitated the rapid identification and triaging of individuals with diabetes. We evaluated this dashboard using high level clinical and financial indicators. This implementation resulted in an improved time to patient review, and a reduction in 28-day readmission rates but the inpatient length of hospital stay was unchanged. (116 words).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Logan local government area (LGA) in Queensland has the highest diabetes prevalence (6.5%) within Metro South Health (MSH). The study aimed to determine the burden of, and equity of access to secondary healthcare, for diabetic foot disease (DFD) for Logan residents to better inform healthcare services planning. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of hospital admissions data between January 2018 and December 2021. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS All episodes of care for DFD provided by MSH hospitals to patients with a residential address in the three LGAs serving the region were included. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was number of episodes of care for DFD by LGA of residence and hospital of presentation. Secondary outcomes were DFD-related hospital occupied bed days and number of lower extremity amputations. RESULTS Among residents in the MSH region, almost half of all episodes of care (47%) and bed days (48%) for DFD were for patients residing in Logan LGA. 40% of episodes of care, 57% of bed days and 73% of lower extremity amputations for DFD for these patients occurred outside of Logan LGA. These findings led to the planning of an integrated model of care for DFD at Logan hospital to improve and make care available locally. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that Logan residents with DFD had poor access to care despite the highest burden. Analysing epidemiology of care for DFD with an equity lens and highlighting gaps in service delivery is paramount to addressing the inequity paradigm.

Abstract
Introduction The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a major public health concern across the world. Various initiatives have tried to address these with varying degrees of success. Objective The objective is to assess and collate existing evidence in implementation research done in India on three broad domains of NCDs namely, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and mental health (MH) in India. Materials and methods Three systematic review protocols have been drafted to explore and collate extant evidence of implementation research on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and mental health in India, in accordance with the PRISMA-P statement. Academic databases including PubMed, Embase and Science Direct will be searched. Search strategies will be formulated in iterative processes and in accordance with the formats that are specific to the databases that will be searched. In addition, grey literature and non-academic databases will also be explored. Data extracted from the selected studies will be analysed and a narrative summary of the selected articles, using the SWiM (Synthesis without meta-analysis) guidelines will be produced. Intended Outcomes The outputs of these systematic reviews could help in a better understanding of implementation research gaps and also how to address them. Apart from giving insights into how healthcare initiatives for CVDs, diabetes and mental health could be implemented in a better way, the study could also advocate the need to build and consolidate capacity for implementation research in the country.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis, control of blood glucose levels and cardiovascular risk factors, and regular screening are essential to prevent or delay complications of diabetes. However, most adults with diabetes do not meet recommended targets, and some populations have disproportionately high rates of potentially preventable diabetes-related hospitalizations. Understanding the factors that contribute to geographic disparities can guide resource allocation and help ensure that future interventions are designed to meet the specific needs of these communities. Therefore, the objectives of this study were (1) to identify determinants of diabetes-related hospitalization rates at the ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) level in Florida, and (2) assess if the strengths of these relationships vary by geographic location and at different spatial scales. METHODS Diabetes-related hospitalization (DRH) rates were computed at the ZCTA level using data from 2016 to 2019. A global ordinary least squares regression model was fit to identify socioeconomic, demographic, healthcare-related, and built environment characteristics associated with log-transformed DRH rates. A multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model was then fit to investigate and describe spatial heterogeneity of regression coefficients. RESULTS Populations of ZCTAs with high rates of diabetes-related hospitalizations tended to have higher proportions of older adults (p < 0.0001) and non-Hispanic Black residents (p = 0.003). In addition, DRH rates were associated with higher levels of unemployment (p = 0.001), uninsurance (p < 0.0001), and lack of access to a vehicle (p = 0.002). Population density and median household income had significant (p < 0.0001) negative associations with DRH rates. Non-stationary variables exhibited spatial heterogeneity at local (percent non-Hispanic Black, educational attainment), regional (age composition, unemployment, health insurance coverage), and statewide scales (population density, income, vehicle access). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study underscore the importance of socioeconomic resources and rurality in shaping population health. Understanding the spatial context of the observed relationships provides valuable insights to guide needs-based, locally-focused health planning to reduce disparities in the burden of potentially avoidable hospitalizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patient-reported measures of encounters in healthcare settings and consideration of their preferences could provide valuable inputs to improve healthcare quality. Although there are increasing reports of user experiences regarding health care in India in recent times, there is a lack of evidence from Indian healthcare settings on the care provided for patients with chronic diseases. METHODS We selected diabetes mellitus and cancer as representatives of two common conditions requiring different care pathways. We conducted a scoping review of studies reporting experiences or preferences of patients/caregivers for these conditions, in PubMed, Global Index Medicus and grey literature, from the year 2000 onwards. Both published and emergent themes were derived from the data and summarised as a narrative synthesis. RESULTS Of 95 included studies (49 diabetes, 46 cancer), 73% (65) were exclusively quantitative surveys, 79% included only patients (75), and 59.5% (44) were conducted in government centres. Studies were concentrated in a few states in India, with the underrepresentation of vulnerable population groups and representative studies. There was a lack of standardised tools and comprehensive approaches for assessing experiences and preferences of patients and caregivers, concerning diabetes and cancers in India. The commonest type of care assessed was therapeutic (74), with 14 cancer studies on diagnosis and nine on palliative care. Repeated visits to crowded centres, drug refill issues, unavailability of specific services in government facilities, and expensive private care characterised diabetes care, while cancer care involved delayed diagnosis and treatment, communication, and pain management issues. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for robust approaches and standardised tools to measure responsiveness of the healthcare system to patient needs, across geographical and population subgroups in India. Health system reforms are needed to improve access to high-quality care for treatment and palliation of cancer and management of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the diabetes mellitus (DM) temporal trend and hospitalization costs in Brazil, by region, Federative Units (FUs) and population characteristics, from 2011 to 2019. METHODS This was an ecological study with data from the Hospital Information System, analyzing the annual trend in hospitalization rates for DM according to sex, age, race/skin color and region/FU by Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression. RESULTS A total of 1,239,574 DM hospitalizations were recorded in the country and the hospitalization rates was 6.77/10,000 inhabitants in the period. The DM hospitalization rates trend was falling for both sexes and in most regions, while it was rising in the younger population and for length of stay (average 6.17 days). Total expenditure was US$ 420,692.23 and it showed a rising trend. CONCLUSION The temporal trend of hospitalization rates due to DM was falling, with differences according to region/FU and age group. Average length of stay and expenditure showed a rising trend. MAIN RESULTS From 2011 to 2019, the diabetes mellitus hospitalization rate was 6.77 per 10,000 inhabitants, with a falling trend. Total expenditure was US$420,692.23 and it showed a rising trend. IMPLICATIONS FOR SERVICES The study warns of the increase in child and adolescent hospitalizations, which indicates the need to invest in preventive actions and early diagnosis. PERSPECTIVES The increase in length of hospital stay and related costs indicates a worrying scenario for the Brazilian National Health System and emphasizes the need to improve access to and quality of care, with a focus on diabetes education, so as to avoid complications and hospitalizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main contributors to death and disability from chronic illnesses in developing nations are elevated blood pressure (hypertension), blood sugar (diabetes mellitus), and blood cholesterol (dyslipidaemia). Even though there are affordable treatments, the treatment gap for these conditions is still significant. Few pilot studies from industrialized nations discuss the value of peer-led interventions for achieving community-level management of blood pressure and blood sugar. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of peer-led intervention compared to standard care in achieving control of selected non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indian context at 1 year of intervention among people of 30-60 years with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus and/or dyslipidaemia. METHODS A cluster-randomized controlled trial will be conducted in villages of two rural blocks of the Khordha district of Odisha from August 2023 to December 2024. A total of 720 eligible participants (360 in the intervention group and 360 in the control group) will be recruited and randomized into two study arms. The participants in the intervention arm will receive a peer-led intervention model for 6 months in addition to standard care. The sessions will be based on the six domains of NCDs - self-care, follow-up care, medication, physical activity, diet, limiting substance use, mental health and co-morbidities. The mean reduction in blood pressure, HbA1C, and blood cholesterol in the intervention arm compared to the standard care arm will be the main outcome. DISCUSSION The increasing burden of NCDs demands for newer strategies for management. Peer-led interventions have proven to be useful at the international level. Incorporating it in India will have remarkable results in controlling NCDs. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI) CTRI/2023/02/050022. Registered on 23 February 2023.

Abstract
AIMS This study explored the association between social determinants of health (SDOH) and diabetes care behaviors among individuals with health insurance. METHODS Data from 57,206 US residents, representing a population of over 25.58 million adults with health insurance and diagnosed diabetes, were included in this cross-sectional analysis of data from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Logistic regression models were constructed to evaluate the likelihood of various diabetes care behaviors given the presence of several SDOH (e.g., food insecurity, poverty, housing insecurity, rurality). RESULTS Most respondents exercised, ate vegetables, saw a provider for diabetes-related care in the last year, and reported checking their feet and testing their blood sugar daily. Not feeling safe (odds ratio (OR) 1.77, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.04, 3.01) was related to never checking blood sugar. Experiencing frequent stress was associated with a lower likelihood of exercise (OR .77, 95% CI 0.60, 0.999) and lower likelihood of checking blood sugar at least once a day (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.54, 0.99). Food insecurity was associated with lower likelihood of vegetable consumption (OR 0.63, 95 % CI 0.47, 0.85) but a higher likelihood of checking blood sugar (OR 1.80, 95 % CI 1.26, 2.57). Low-income respondents were less likely to exercise (OR 0.72, 95 % CI 0.64, 0.80) or eat vegetables (OR 0.83, 95 % CI 0.75, 0.93) but more likely to check their feet (OR 1.19, 95 % CI 1.04, 1.35) and blood sugar at least once per day (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01, 1.31). Those who rent their home were also more likely to check their blood sugar (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.07, 1.37) but less likely to have eaten vegetables in the last week (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.78, 0.97). Respondents living in rural areas were more likely to have visited a provider in the last year (OR 1.21 95% CI 1.00, 1.47). CONCLUSIONS SDOH can adversely affect diabetes self-care behaviors, providers should assist vulnerable patients by connecting them with community resources and providing individualized care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and complex disease, increasing in prevalence and consequent health expenditure. Cost-effectiveness models with long time horizons are commonly used to perform economic evaluations of diabetes' treatments. As such, prediction accuracy and structural uncertainty are important features in cost-effectiveness models of chronic conditions. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review is to identify and review published cost-effectiveness models of diabetes treatments developed between 2011 and 2022 regarding their methodological characteristics. Further, it also appraises the quality of the methods used, and discusses opportunities for further methodological research. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted in MEDLINE and Embase to identify peer-reviewed papers reporting cost-effectiveness models of diabetes treatments, with time horizons of more than 5 years, published in English between 1 January 2011 and 31 of December 2022. Screening, full-text inclusion, data extraction, quality assessment and data synthesis using narrative synthesis were performed. The Philips checklist was used for quality assessment of the included studies. The study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021248999). RESULTS The literature search identified 30 studies presenting 29 unique cost-effectiveness models of type 1 and/or type 2 diabetes treatments. The review identified 26 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) models, 3 type 1 DM (T1DM) models and one model for both types of diabetes. Fifteen models were patient-level models, whereas 14 were at cohort level. Parameter uncertainty was assessed thoroughly in most of the models, whereas structural uncertainty was seldom addressed. All the models where validation was conducted performed well. The methodological quality of the models with respect to structure was high, whereas with respect to data modelling it was moderate. CONCLUSIONS Models developed in the past 12 years for health economic evaluations of diabetes treatments are of high-quality and make use of advanced methods. However, further developments are needed to improve the statistical modelling component of cost-effectiveness models and to provide better assessment of structural uncertainty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coronavirus pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) forced worldwide recognition and implementation of telehealth as a means of providing continuity of care by varied health care institutions. Diabetes is a global health threat with rates that continue to accelerate, thereby causing an increased need for clinicians to provide diabetes care and education to keep up with demand. Utilizing technology to provide education via phone/smartphone, video/audio, web, text message, mobile apps, or a combination of these methods can help improve patient access and clinical outcomes, cut costs, and close gaps in care. METHODS While numerous publications have summarized the various tools and technologies available for capturing remote clinical data and their relevance to diabetes care and self-management, this review focuses on self-educational telehealth tools available for diabetes self-management, their advantages and disadvantages, and factors that need to be considered prior to implementation. Recent relevant studies indexed by PubMed were included. RESULTS The widespread use and popularity of phones/smartphones, tablets, computers, and the Internet by patients of all age groups, cultures, socioeconomic and geographic areas allow for increased outreach, flexibility, and engagement with diabetes education, either in combination or as an adjunct to traditional in-person visits. Demonstrated benefits of using health technologies for diabetes self-management education include improved lifestyle habits, reduced hemoglobin A1C levels, decreased health care costs, and better medication adherence. Potential drawbacks include lack of regulation, need for staff training on methodologies used, the requirement for patients to be tech savvy, privacy concerns, lag time with technology updates/glitches, and the need for more long-term research data on efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Telehealth technologies for diabetes self-education improve overall clinical outcomes and have come a long way. With increasing numbers of patients with diabetes, it is expected that more optimal and user-friendly methodologies will be developed to fully engage and help patients communicate with their physicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acclimating to a new technology device, such as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), can be challenging. Current resources may not sufficiently answer questions patients living with diabetes (PWD) may have. We asked how we might improve the process to onboard a PWD to CGM. Our specific aims were (1) to develop, employing a co-designing approach, a prototype of an app for facilitating onboarding to CGM and (2) to obtain early feedback on its usability. METHODS We applied a human-centered design (HCD) approach; this process first seeks to deeply understand the unmet needs and frustrations users face. After wearing a demonstration CGM; observing PWD onboarding with health care professionals (HCPs) in clinic; and interviewing 8 PWD and 2 HCP, we developed, tested, and refined a low-fidelity prototype of a clickable app. With insights from this initial round of feedback, we then created a high-fidelity prototype with 3 key features: (1) individual entry of goals and questions; (2) a daily progress tracker for these goals; and (3) a community portal that facilitates exchange of questions and answers. We used the validated System Usability Scale (SUS) to quantify user feedback. RESULTS Focus group participants found our early app to be usable and acceptable. Measurement of usability by the SUS yielded a score of 74, which is above average (68) reported for all applications tested, per usability.gov. CONCLUSIONS Our early prototype app is a more personalized, additional tool that could bridge an information and support gap for patients who are new to CGM. This app could also help PWD on an ongoing basis, by evolving with them to enhance ease and engagement with diabetes self-management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between the dissatisfaction of family caregivers with diabetes treatment and depressive symptoms among the elderly. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients of 65 years of age or older and their family caregivers, who were outpatients at Ise Red Cross Hospital. The Japanese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9, which consists of nine items, was used to measure depressive symptoms. The Japanese version of the Treatment Satisfaction Scale for Caregivers of Dependent Diabetic Patients (STCD2-J) was used to measure the satisfaction of family caregivers with diabetes treatment. A logistic regression analysis was performed using depressive symptoms as dependent variable, satisfaction of the family caregiver with diabetes treatment as an explanatory variable, and adjustment variables. RESULTS In total, 272 patients were included in the analysis. Taking the quintiles of STCD2-J scores, the adjusted odds ratios for patient depressive symptoms in Q2 (27-29), Q3 (24-26), Q4 (22-23) and Q5 (14-21) based on Q1 (30-36) (the group with the highest STCD2-J scores) were 2.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69-8.61; P=0.163), 3.08 (95% CI, 0.93-10.12; P=0.063), 2.69 (95% CI, 0.68-10.65; P=0.156), and 4.54 (95% CI, 1.44-14.32; P=0.010), respectively. CONCLUSION We found that family caregivers' decreased satisfaction with diabetes treatment was associated with depressive symptoms. It is important to alert primary care physicians about depressive symptoms when they see family caregivers who show decreased satisfaction with diabetes treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND User-centered design (UCD) or user experience design (UXD) methods have gained recent popularity for the design of mobile health (mHealth) interventions. However, there is a gap in application of these methods for diabetes self-management. This study aims to document the UCD process for a self-management mobile application aimed for patients with diabetes in underserved communities. METHODS A UCD mixed-methods approach including interviews with patients and providers, a review of literature, and a technology landscape analysis were used to define the app functional information requirements that informed the user experience/user interface design process. Usability studies with the app designers and developers, intended users, and a focus group of nurse educators and dieticians were used to test and improve the design. RESULTS An mHealth app was developed with health-tracking features for stress, blood sugar, food, exercise, medications, weight, and blood pressure. We tackled a range of usability and user experience challenges, which encompassed addressing issues like low health literacy by employing a combination of user interface design principles, intuitive visualizations, customizable icons, seamless database integration, and automated data input features. Special attention was given to the design of educational content accounting for the intended users' cultural background and literacy levels. CONCLUSIONS User-centered design approach contributed to a better understanding of the intended users' needs, limitations, mental models, and expectations, facilitating the design of a comprehensive mobile app for patients with diabetes in underserved communities that includes essential features for self-management while providing a strong educational component, addressing an important gap in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients of Asian descent are under-represented in the U.S. health care system and provider cultural competence is inadequate in addressing Asian health disparities. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the pharmacist-led cultural competence training on provider self-perceived preparedness and diabetes-related health outcomes in patients of Asian descent. METHODS This study is a cross-sectional followed by a quasi-experimental design conducted in 2 phases in a primary care clinic. Phase one evaluated the association of providers' cross-cultural care survey (CCCS) scores with patients' diabetic health indices: hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Phase 2 examined the impact of pharmacist-led cultural competence training on providers' cross-cultural competency using survey analysis as well as pre- and post-training diabetic health indices in patients of Asian descent. RESULTS Phase 1 CCCS results showed baseline cross-cultural competence of the providers is inadequate (N = 9 providers). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between providers' CCCS score and patients' HbA1C (N = 49, P = 0.04). Phase 2 showed that cultural competence training significantly reduced providers' self-perceived "un-preparedness" to care for patients of alternative cultures (N = 30 providers). Average diabetic health indices for all patients (N = 95) before and after the training were not significantly different. In the subset of patients with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1C ≥ 7), SBP and HbA1C were significantly reduced after the training (P = 0.032 and P = 0.039, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist-led cultural competence training had a positive impact on provider self-assessment and diabetic clinical outcomes in uncontrolled patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic medical condition that continues to increase in prevalence. Complications of DM, including diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, often present in the emergency department requiring emergent management. Prompt assessment, diagnosis, evaluation of laboratory values, treatment, monitoring, and strict follow-up education are essential to the successful management of this complex disease. Common medications and management strategies are key elements to control DM. This article presents an overview of DM, including its prevalence, pathophysiology, presentations, and management.
