Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an ongoing disease that is related to a high mortality rate due to severe complications. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is a persistent metabolic deficiency and its prevalence has been increasing consistently worldwide. As a result, it is rapidly turning into a plague in some parts of the world, and the number of people affected is expected to double in the following decade due to an increase in the maturing populace, adding to the overall existing importance for medical service providers, particularly in the underdeveloped nations. Extensive diabetes care is an intricate task that takes a whole group of medical care experts, including drug specialists, to provide multidisciplinary care for the patients. The duty of drug experts has changed significantly in recent years, changing from conventional drug dispensing in the drug store to patient- centered clinical support services. Upgrading the medication treatment to accomplish better remedial results without causing drug-related issues has been considered the essential objective of treatment for diabetic patients. This review discusses the healthcare needs of patients with T2DM, the current evidence for the role of pharmacists in diabetes care, and insight into the upcoming role of pharmacists in its management. The advanced role of clinical pharmacists in diabetes control through drug treatment, diabetes care centers, and diabetes health counselor schooling, is also discussed in this review.

The Effect of Diabetes Management Shared Care Clinic on Glycated Hemoglobin A1c Compliance and Self-Management Abilities in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Clin Pract 2023; 2023:2493634. [PMID: 38187353 PMCID: PMC10771925 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2493634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective We aim to evaluate the impact of diabetes management shared care clinic (DMSCC) on glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) compliance and self-management abilities in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This study was a prospective cohort study of patients with T2DM participating in the DMSCC. At baseline and after management, the HbA1c levels were measured, the HbA1c compliance rate were calculated, and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities-6 (SDSCA-6), Diabetes Empowerment Scale-DAWN Short Form (DES-DSF), and Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale-Five-item Short Form (PAID-5) were completed. These pre- and post-management data were compared. Results A total of 124 eligible patients were enrolled. After the diabetes management of DMSCC, the average HbA1c decreased and the HbA1c compliance rate increased significantly (P < 0.01). SDSCA-6 showed significant improvement in physical activity, glycemic monitoring, smoking (P < 0.01), and taking medication (P < 0.05). DES-DSF suggested a greater willingness to try to effectively treat diabetes (P < 0.05). PAID-5 indicated significant improvement in diabetes-related emotional distress. Conclusion DMSCC can help patients with T2DM reduce HbA1c, increase HbA1c compliance, improve diabetes self-management behaviors, empowerment, and diabetes-related emotional distress and serve as an effective exploration and practice of diabetes self-management education and support.

Abstract
Objective Advancements in diagnostics and treatment options for cardiac amyloidosis have improved patient outcomes, yet few patient education materials exist to help patients understand the disease and diagnosis process. We sought to develop and evaluate a set of plain language, patient-centered infographics describing the condition and common diagnostic tests. Methods Using health literacy best practices, we developed 7 infographics which were further revised based on multilevel stakeholder feedback. To evaluate the materials, we recruited 100 patients from healthcare settings in Chicago, IL; participants completed a web-assisted interview during which they were randomized 1:1 to first view either our infographics or a standard material. Participants completed a knowledge assessment on their assigned material and subsequently reported impressions of both materials. Results No differences were found between study arms in knowledge. The infographics took significantly less time to read and were more highly rated by participants in terms of appearance and understandability. Over two-thirds of participants preferred the infographics to the standard. Conclusions The infographics created may improve the learning process about a complex condition and diagnosis process unknown to most adults. Innovation These infographics are the first of their kind for cardiac amyloidosis and were created using health literacy best practices.

Self-Management Interventions for Adults Living with Type II Diabetes to Improve Patient-Important Outcomes: An Evidence Map. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:3156. [PMID: 38132046 PMCID: PMC10742682 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11243156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Self-management interventions (SMIs) may be promising in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (T2DM). However, accurate comparisons of their relative effectiveness are challenging, partly due to a lack of clarity and detail regarding the intervention content being evaluated. This study summarizes intervention components and characteristics in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to T2DM using a taxonomy for SMIs as a framework and identifies components that are insufficiently incorporated into the design of the intervention or insufficiently reported. Following evidence mapping methodology, we searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane, and PsycINFO from 2010 to 2018 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on SMIs for T2DM. We used the terms 'self-management', 'adult' and 'T2DM' for content. For data extraction, we used an online platform based on the taxonomy for SMIs. Two independent reviewers assessed eligible references; one reviewer extracted data, and a second checked accuracy. We identified 665 RCTs for SMIs (34% US, 21% Europe) including 164,437 (median 123, range 10-14,559) adults with T2DM. SMIs highly differed in design and content, and characteristics such as mode of delivery, intensity, location and providers involved were poorly described. The majority of interventions aimed to improve clinical outcomes like HbA1c (83%), weight (53%), lipid profile (45%) or blood pressure (42%); 27% (also) targeted quality of life. Improved knowledge, health literacy, patient activation or satisfaction with care were hardly used as outcomes (<16%). SMIs most often used education (98%), self-monitoring (56%), goal-setting (48%) and skills training (42%) to improve outcomes. Management of emotions (17%) and shared decision-making (5%) were almost never mentioned. Although diabetes is highly prevalent in some minority groups, in only 13% of the SMIs, these groups were included. Our findings highlight the large heterogeneity that exists in the design of SMIs for T2DM and the way studies are reported, making accurate comparisons of their relative effectiveness challenging. In addition, SMIs pay limited attention to outcomes other than clinical, despite the importance attached to these outcomes by patients. More standardized and streamlined research is needed to better understand the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of SMIs of T2DM and benefit patient care.

Abstract
Background The learning needs of newly diagnosed diabetic patients followed up in medical offices in Reunion Island are unknown, although necessary for the improvement of education programmes and disease control. Aim To assess the knowledge of type 2 diabetic patients in primary care followed for less than 5 years. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out, using a self-questionnaire to assess patients' knowledge of diabetes, complications, follow-up, diet and physical activity. Patients were recruited from medical offices in the western region of Reunion Island. Results From 23rd April to 31st July 2021, 89 patients were included. The knowledge level of the total sample was moderate (mean correct answers 65 % ± 17). The best knowledge levels were in the areas "generalities on diabetes" and "complications", while the lowest levels were in the categories "follow-up" and "diet and physical activity". Glycated haemoglobin, libido disorders, frequency of urinalysis and dental consultation, and the recommended diet for patients with diabetes which is the same as for the general population, were the least known concepts. Conclusion This study revealed gaps in patients' knowledge that could be used to improve education programmes which in turn could reduce or prevent diabetes complications.

Abstract
AIMS This review aimed to examine the content, frequency, duration, and outcomes of nurse-led diabetes self-management programmes on glycosylated haemoglobin levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. BACKGROUND Diabetes self-management programmes improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes to acquire specific behavioural changes and develop effective problem-solving skills. DESIGN A systematic review was used in this study. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Ovid, CINAHL, Proquest and Scopus databases were searched for studies published in English until February 2022. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. REVIEW METHODS This study followed the recommendations of the Cochrane 2022 guidelines and was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight studies with 1747 participants met the inclusion criteria. Interventions included telephone coaching, consultation services and individual and group education. The duration of the intervention ranged from 3 to 15 months. The results showed that nurse-led diabetes self-management programmes had positive and clinically significant effects on glycosylated haemoglobin levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSION These findings highlight the important role of nurses in improving self-management and achieving glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The positive outcomes of this review offer suggestions for health care professionals to develop effective self-management programnmes in type 2 diabetes treatment and care.

Abstract
There is a lack of reliable tools to assess the knowledge of frailty and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults. To develop and validate reliable frailty and malnutrition knowledge assessment scales for this population, two scales were developed and validated through five phases. Phase 1: the item pools were constructed through a literature review and research panel based on the symptom interpretation model. Phase 2: the expert consultation was performed to select the items. Phase 3: a pilot survey was conducted to assess the clarity of the items and further revise the scales. Phase 4: 242 older adults were surveyed to finalize the items. Phase 5: 241 older adults were surveyed to test the psychometric properties. The two scales each comprise 3 dimensions (symptoms, risk factors, and management strategies) and 11 items. They had good construct validity, with all indicators of correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis meeting their specific criteria. The reliability of the frailty and malnutrition knowledge assessment scales was good, with composite reliability coefficients all >0.60, Cronbach's alpha being 0.81 and 0.83, and the Spearman-Brown coefficient being 0.74 and 0.80, respectively. Their acceptability was good, with both having a completion rate of 92.18% and an average completion time of 3 min. The two scales are reliable tools to assess the knowledge of frailty and malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults, especially for large-scale surveys. They can help identify knowledge gaps in older adults and provide a basis for developing targeted educational interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basic public health services for diabetes play an essential role in controlling glycemia in patients with diabetes. This study was conducted to understand the urban-rural disparities in the utilization of basic public health services for people with diabetes and the factors influencing them. METHODS The data were obtained from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) with 2976 diabetes patients. Chi-square tests were used to examine the disparities in the utilization of diabetes physical examination and health education between urban and rural areas. Logistic regression was performed to explore the factors associated with the utilization of diabetes public health services. RESULTS Among all participants, 8.4% used diabetes physical examination in the past year, and 28.4% used diabetes health education services. A significant association with age (OR = 0.64, 95% CI:0.49-0.85; P < 0.05) was found between patients' use of health education services. Compared with diabetes patients living in an urban area, diabetes patients living in a rural area used less diabetes health education. (χ2= 92.39, P < 0.05). Patients' self-reported health status (OR = 2.04, CI:1.24-3.35; P < 0.05) and the use of glucose control (OR = 9.33, CI:6.61-13.16; P < 0.05) were significantly positively associated with the utilization of diabetes physical examination. Patients with higher education levels were more likely to use various kinds of health education services than their peers with lower education levels (OR = 1.64, CI:1.21-2.22; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, urban-rural disparities in the utilization of public health services existed. Vulnerable with diabetes, such as those in rural areas, are less available to use diabetes public health services. Providing convenient health service infrastructure facilitates the utilization of basic public health services for diabetes in older patients with diabetes, especially in rural areas.

Evaluation of an interprofessional follow-up intervention among people with type 2 diabetes in primary care-A randomized controlled trial with embedded qualitative interviews. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0291255. [PMID: 37967084 PMCID: PMC10650997 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0291255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
With an ageing population and improved treatments people live longer with their chronic diseases, and primary care clinics face more costly and difficult-to-treat multimorbid patients. To meet these challenges, current guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes suggest that an interprofessional team should collaborate to enhance the delivery of worthwhile self-management support interventions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of an empowerment-based interprofessional follow-up intervention in people with type 2 diabetes in primary care on patient-reported outcomes, biomarkers and weight, and to explore the experiences of patients attending the intervention. We invited patients during regular visits to their general practitioners. The 12-month intervention included 1) empowerment-based counselling; 2) a standardized medical report. The control group received consultations with physicians only. The primary outcome was the Patient Activation Measure, a patient-reported measure assessing individual knowledge, skills, and confidence integral to managing one's health and healthcare. After the trial we conducted qualitative interviews. We observed no difference in the primary outcome scores. On secondary outcomes we found a significant between-group intervention effect in favor of the intervention group, with mean differences in glycemic control after 12 months (B [95% CI] = -8.6 [-17.1, -0.1] mmol/l; p = 0.045), and significant within-group changes of weight (B [95% CI] = -1.8 kg [-3.3, -0.3]; p = 0.02) and waist circumference (B [95% CI] = -3.9 cm [-7.3, -0.6]; p = 0.02). The qualitative data showed that the intervention opened patients' eyes for reflections and greater awareness, but they needed time to take on actions. The patients emphasized that the intervention gave rise to other insights and a greater understanding of their health challenges. We suggest testing the intervention among patients with larger disease burden and a more expressed motivation for change.

[PMID: 37954307 PMCID: PMC10637927 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is recommended as a standard of care for patients with diabetes worldwide. Alcohol consumption is one aspect mentioned within the DSMES program in Thailand where alcohol consumption is the highest among Southeast Asian countries. Many diabetes guidelines suggest limiting alcohol intake to not more than one standard drink per day for adult women and two for adult men if they cannot abstain from drinking. In practice, however, the conversion of alcohol consumption into standard drinks, and nutritional information about the calorie and sugar contents of alcoholic beverages, especially domestically produced spirits, are not commonly available in Thailand. By reviewing the diabetes guidelines internationally and the Thailand alcoholic beverage industry, a visual health education tool to help convert different alcoholic beverages into standard drinks and to provide the calorie and sugar content of alcoholic beverages was developed as a part of the DSMES program. It was finalized following pilot testing and focus group discussions with policymakers, healthcare providers, and type 2 diabetes patients. The personalized counseling tool, integrated with guidelines and culturally tailored to the Thai setting is distributed to counselors/educators. It is a potentially useful tool for patients to make informed choices for their self-management of diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate an educational material on diabetes through an expert consensus for its implementation into a web site. MATERIAL AND METHODS An observational study was carried out in a group of health professionals, for which an educational material was developed for patients with diabetes. Topics included nutrition, physical exercise, control indicators, complications, pharmacological treatment, among others. The language, text and figures were focused on easy comprehension, additionally, a section of didactic activities to be answered by the patient with diabetes at the end of each module was included. To evaluate the educational material by health professionals, an instrument was designed and validated. Once all the educational material was available, each of the modules was sent by e-mail to at least three clinical experts in the assigned topic, as well as the instrument for the evaluation of the module. RESULTS Thirty-seven experts were included in the study, 76% rated the educational modules evaluated as highly adequate, while only 24% rated them as adequate. The instrument used obtained a good level of internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92. In the dimensions of the instrument, the lowest Cronbach's alpha score was that of "call-to-action", with a value of 0.71. CONCLUSION The diabetes educational material was rated as highly appropriate by the clinical experts. The developed instrument has an adequate content validity, as well as a good level of internal consistency.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an emerging global public health challenge worldwide, including Nepal. Social determinants of health (SDOH) play a major role in glycemic control among persons with type 2 DM (T2DM). However, little is known about the association between SDOH and glycemic control among individuals with T2DM in Nepal. Objective This study aimed to identify the level of glycemic control and SDOH associated with glycemic control among Nepalese with T2DM. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, among 135 Nepalese diagnosed with T2DM who attended follow-up appointments. Convenience sampling and inclusion criteria were utilized for participant selection. Data were collected from April to June 2021 using validated scales. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were employed to analyze the data. Results The mean age of the participants in this study was 53.84 (SD = 11.78) years, and the average monthly household income was 567.64 (SD = 362.30) USD. The majority of the participants (77.8%) were literate and had no health insurance coverage (73.3%). Approximately 64.4% of the participants showed suboptimal glycemic control indicated by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥7%. The significant determinants of good glycemic control included monthly household income of >850 USD (odds ratio [OR] = 12.20, 95% confident interval [CI] = 1.76-84.61, p = 0.011) and 341-600 USD (OR = 7.64, 95% CI 1.35-42.98, p = 0.021), being literate (OR = 6.37, 95% CI = 1.65-24.49, p = 0.007), having health insurance (OR = 5.82, 95% CI = 1.49-22.65, p = 0.011), sufficient health literacy (OR = 3.46, 95% CI = 1.10-10.83, p = 0.03), and high (OR = 16.17, 95% CI = 2.36-110.67, p = 0.005) and moderate (OR = 7.02, 95% CI = 1.26-39.07, p = 0.026) food availability, respectively. Conclusion The study revealed suboptimal glycemic control in Nepalese with T2DM. This study presents essential social determinants of glycemic control in this population. Therefore, healthcare providers, particularly nurses, should pay more attention to assessing social determinants and provide targeted interventions to patients with T2DM who have low income, are illiterate, have no health insurance coverage, have insufficient health literacy, and have low resources for food availability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective self-management of diabetes is crucial for improving clinical outcomes by maintaining glucose levels and preventing the exacerbation of the condition. Mobile health (mHealth) has demonstrated its significance in enhancing self-management practices. However, only 20% of Malaysians are familiar with mHealth technologies and use them for health management. OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the perceived benefits and challenges, needs and preferences, and willingness of patients with diabetes to use mHealth apps for self-management of diabetes. METHODS The study involved one-on-one semistructured online interviews with a total of 15 participants, all of whom were aged 18 years or older and had been diagnosed with diabetes for more than 6 months. An interview guide was developed based on the constructs of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Health Information Technology Acceptance Model (HITAM), and the aesthetics factor derived from the Mobile Application Rating Scale. All interviews were recorded in audio format and transcribed verbatim. The interview content was then organized and coded using ATLAS.ti version 8. Thematic analysis was conducted in accordance with the recommended guidelines for analyzing the data. RESULTS From the interviews with participants, 3 key themes emerged regarding the perceived benefits of using mHealth app support in diabetes self-management. These themes were the ability to track and monitor diabetes control, assistance in making lifestyle modifications, and the facilitation of more informed treatment decision-making for health care professionals. The interviews with participants revealed 4 prominent themes regarding the perceived barriers to using mHealth app support for diabetes self-management. These themes were a lack of awareness about the availability of mHealth support, insufficient support in using mHealth apps, the perception that current mHealth apps do not align with users' specific needs, and limited digital literacy among users. The interviews with participants unveiled 4 key themes related to their needs and preferences concerning mHealth app support for diabetes self-management. These themes were the desire for educational information, user-friendly design features, carbohydrate-counting functionality, and the ability to engage socially with both peers and health care professionals. The majority of participants expressed their willingness to use mHealth apps if they received recommendations and guidance from health care professionals. CONCLUSIONS Patients generally perceive mHealth app support as beneficial for diabetes self-management and are willing to use these apps, particularly if recommended by health care professionals. However, several barriers may hinder the utilization of mHealth apps, including a lack of awareness and recommendations regarding these apps from health care professionals. To ensure the effective development of mHealth app support systems for diabetes self-management, it is crucial to implement user-centered design processes that consider the specific needs and preferences of patients. This approach will help create apps that are tailored to the requirements of individuals managing diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes self-management education (DSME) helps patients self-manage their condition and improve outcomes/quality of life. However, access to DSME is limited, particularly in low-income areas. This study aims to develop a DSME training kit (EK-DIN), understand barriers to implementation, and evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of community leader (CL)-based rollout using a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial format. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The mixed methods study will begin with a qualitative study to evaluate the facilitators and barriers towards CL-based DSME. The in-depth interview notes will be transcribed for thematic analysis. These results will be utilized for a stakeholder's workshop to develop the EK-DIN kit, a patient-interfacing app, and an implementation plan. Rollout will be conducted in 30 clusters in Delhi, preselected by the DEDICOM-II survey in 5 steps (6 clusters every 3 months: 2 each from each socio-economic category; randomly selected per sequence). A CL from each cluster will be trained in using the EK-DIN kit/app over 1 month. The trained CL will conduct DSME sessions among the cluster residents using the EK-DIN kits provided fortnightly for 3 months. Compliance and blood parameters data will be collected at baseline, 3 months after the intervention, and every quarter thereafter till completion. Change in HbA1c before and after the intervention will be evaluated as the primary outcome using the swCRTdesign package for R version 4.0.2 and the swSummary function. The sustainability of the effects will be evaluated using the change in quarterly parameters after intervention completion. DISCUSSION A positive result will set the template for a generalizable public health intervention with proven community effectiveness, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and positive quality-of-life impact. While a negative result will require the testing of alternative approaches, it would still add substantially to existing knowledge on the subject. Given the diverse socio-cultural setting in which the trial is being proposed and the high power of the study, the results (positive or negative) should be widely applicable and have policy implications. TRIAL REGISTRATION CTRI/2023/07/054963. Date of Registration: 7th July 2023.

[PMID: 37817214 PMCID: PMC10563332 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01169-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The COVID-19 pandemic impacted diabetes care by reducing diabetes outpatient visits and diabetes-related screening due to allocation of healthcare resources. Yet the impact of COVID-19 on diabetes outpatients has not been extensively evaluated. This study aimed to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on diagnostics and intermediate outcomes of outpatient diabetes care pre- and during COVID. METHODS This observational cohort study included 8,442 diabetes patients in the Dutch Pediatric and Adult Registry of Diabetes (DPARD) visiting diabetes outpatient clinics in 2019 and 2021. A mixed-effects regression analysis was used to examine differences in target achievement of HbA1c, BMI, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, eGFR, and the difference in mean HbA1c between 2019 and 2020 among n = 1,426 outpatients who visited in both years. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and BMI. RESULTS A 22.7% (21.6-23.8%, p < 0.001) decline in outpatient volume was observed during the pandemic (2020). BMI, lipid spectrum, kidney function, and HbA1c were assessed less frequently in 2020 than in 2019. In 2020, compared to 2019, the median HbA1c level increased by 2.2% (1.0 mmol/mol, p = 0.035) and the percentages of patients with known HbA1C meeting targets below 10, 8, 7% (86, 64, and 53 mmol/mol) decreased by 0.5%, 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively. Target blood pressure ≤ 130/80 mmHg was achieved more often in 2020 (15.0% versus 18.3%, p = 0.018), while HbA1c ≤ 86 mmol/mol was achieved less (89.3% versus 87.1%, p = 0.001), among diabetes outpatients seen in both 2019 and 2020. In patients visiting both years, HbA1c was 2.3% (1.9 mmol/l, 95% CI 1.2-2.5, p < 0.001) lower during the pandemic than in the prepandemic (2019). CONCLUSIONS The COVID pandemic was associated with a marked reduction in patient volume in diabetes outpatient care among five hospitals. Among patients who received outpatient care both before and during the pandemic period, HbA1c control and blood pressure control enhanced during the pandemic. Re-evaluation of current diabetes outpatient care organization is warranted to ensure optimal diabetes care in future times.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing students in their final year of study will soon become responsible for the care and management of people with diabetes, and they need to be knowledgeable to provide adequate information. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess nursing students' knowledge regarding diabetes care and management. DESIGN A descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS A convenience sample of all nursing students' internship enrolled at three government universities in Saudi Arabia. METHODS 306 Saudi nursing students were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire of the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. The second part contained 23 multiple-choice questions of the Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Test. Data were collected from July to September 2022. RESULTS The overall percentage of correct responses was 49.28 %. There was a significant difference between sex, the university attended, attendance in courses related to diabetes, and diabetes management guidelines in any course and their knowledge about diabetes care and management (p = 0.024, 0.001, 0.036, and 0.038, respectively). There was a significant difference between nursing students' general knowledge and insulin use knowledge (p = 0.001). A multiple regression analysis revealed that the university attended was the only statistically significant factor (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Nursing internship students are likely to be responsible for providing people with diabetes care and management once they qualify. Inappropriate knowledge negatively affects the care and management of people with diabetes. Information related to diabetic insulin therapy should be provided in more detail in the nursing curriculum.

Abstract
AIMS To examined the relationship between fear of hypoglycemia and certain variables in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior model, combined with the context unique to people with diabetes to provide a basis for developing targeted nursing interventions. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 212 people with T2DM were recruited from February 2021 to July 2021. Data were collected using the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey, Gold score, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) scale and Diabetic Self-Management Attitudes Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of fear of hypoglycemia using SPSS 26.0. RESULTS The mean fear of hypoglycemia score was 74.88 ± 18.28 (range: 37.00-132.00). In people with T2DM, the frequency of blood glucose monitoring, the frequency of hypoglycemia in the past half-year, degree of understanding of hypoglycemia, impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, PACIC, and self-management attitude of diabetes were the influencing factors of fear of hypoglycemia (adjusted R2 = 0.560, F[21,190] = 13.800, P < 0.001). These variables explained 56.0% of the variance in the fear of hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS The level of fear of hypoglycemia in people with T2DM was relatively high. In addition to paying attention to the disease characteristics of people with T2DM, medical staff should also pay attention to patients' own perception and handling ability of disease and hypoglycemia, attitude toward self-management behavior and external environment support, all of which have a positive effect on improving the fear of hypoglycemia in people with T2DM, optimizing the self-management level and improving quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly common in adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Improving self-management skills and the mental health of this population is important, but understudied. METHODS The goal of this research was to develop a mind-body intervention which could serve as an adjunctive therapy to support AYAs with T2D (INTEND intervention). Toward that end, we used an iterative process, including use of focus groups, advisory board, and cognitive semi-structured interviews with patients, parents of patient and clinical providers, to understand the gaps in the current information provided to AYAs with T2D. Based on the data gathered from the focus groups and interviews, we enhanced an existing self-management intervention for adults with T2D to include an additional mind body intervention for AYAs with T2D. The INTEND intervention will be piloted in a group of AYAs with T2D. RESULTS This report describes the methodology and design of the InterveNTion for Early oNset type 2 Diabetes (INTEND) study. The details of this single arm pre-post pilot feasibility trial are described. DISCUSSION If successful, the INTEND approach has the potential to advance care for vulnerable youth with T2D.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships of health literacy (HL; Short Test of Functional Health Literacy), cognitive impairment (CI), and diabetes knowledge (DK) among incarcerated persons transitioning to the community. METHODS Using preintervention data from a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group study evaluating the feasibility of a six-session literacy-tailored Diabetes Survival Skills intervention for incarcerated men transitioning to the community, we conducted correlational analyses among the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy in Diabetes Scale using the SPSS PROCESS macro and bias-corrected bootstrapping to test the meditational hypothesis: HL mediates the relationship between CI and DK. RESULTS Participants ( N = 73) were incarcerated for 1-30 years with a mean age of 47 (9.9) years, 40% Black, 19% White, and 30% Hispanic, with 78% having high school/GED or less education. Most (70%) screened positive for CI and had low DK, and 20% had marginal or inadequate HL. HL, CI, and DK were positively associated with each other. Controlling for race, age, and group (control/experimental), cognitive function had a significant direct effect on HL ( b = 0.866, p = 0.0003) but not on DK ( b = 0.119, p = 0.076). Results indicated a significant indirect effect of cognitive functioning on DK via HL, 95% confidence interval [0.300, 0.1882]. CONCLUSION Intervention approaches aimed at increasing HL or tailored to low HL in the presence of CI may be effective in increasing DK in this population. IMPLICATIONS Given the low risk to high benefit of implementing literacy-tailored approaches to persons in prison and the population demographics from studies supporting a high degree of CI, nurses should consider implementing literacy-tailored approaches and screening for CI before participation in all educational programs.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to investigate the level of knowledge, attitude and self-management behaviors of diabetic patients, to explore the mediating role of attitude in the relationship between knowledge and self-management behaviors. Methods: 900 diabetes patients were randomly selected from the eastern, central and western regions of Shandong Province, China, and recovered 863 valid questionnaires. Path analysis was used to examine the mediating role of attitude in the relationship between knowledge and self-management behaviors in patients with diabetes. Results: The mean score (SD) of the diabetes self-management questionnaire (DSMQ) in this study was 35.01 (6.87). The direct effect value of knowledge level on self-management behaviors was 0.357, accounting for 62.09% of the total effect. The indirect effect value of knowledge on self-management behaviors through attitude was 0.218, accounting for 37.91%. Conclusion: Level of knowledge has a significant direct impact on self-management behaviors and an indirect impact on self-management behaviors through attitude. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen health education on diabetes to improve awareness, ameliorate attitudes toward diabetes, and change self-management behaviors.

Abstract
Shared medical appointments (SMAs) are an evidence-based approach to diabetes care in primary care settings, yet practices can struggle to ensure participation, especially among racial and ethnic minority and low-income patients. We conducted a multimethod evaluation of reach and attendance in the Invested in Diabetes study of the comparative effectiveness of two SMA delivery models (standardized and patient-driven) in two practice settings (federally qualified health centers [FQHCs] and clinics serving more commercially insured patients). Through this study, 22 practices reached 6.2% of patients with diabetes through SMAs over 3 years, with good attendance for both practice types and both SMA delivery models. FQHCs were especially successful at enrolling underserved populations and improved attendance with virtual SMAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Population health management approaches can help target diabetes resources like Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) to individuals at the highest risk of complications and poor outcomes. Little is known about patient characteristics associated with DSMES receipt since widespread uptake of telemedicine for diabetes care in 2020. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we used electronic medical record (EMR) data to assess patterns of DSMES delivery from May 2020 to May 2022 among adults who used telemedicine for type 2 diabetes (T2D) endocrinology care in a large integrated health system. Multilevel regression models were used to evaluate the association of key patient characteristics with DSMES receipt. RESULTS Of 3530 patients in the overall cohort, 401 patients (11%) received DSMES. In adjusted multivariable logistic regression, higher baseline HbA1c (odds ratios [OR] 3.10 [95% confidence interval 2.22-4.33] for HbA1c ≥9% vs <7%), insulin regimen complexity (OR 3.53 [2.59-4.80] for multiple daily injections vs no insulin), and number of noninsulin medications (OR 1.17 [1.05-1.30] per 1 additional medication) were significantly associated with receipt of DSMES, whereas rurality and area-level deprivation of patient residence were not. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support remains underutilized in this cohort of adults using telemedicine to access endocrinology care for T2D. Factors contributing to clinical complexity increased the odds of receiving DSMES. These results support a potential population health management approach using EMR data, which could target DSMES resources to those at higher risk of poor outcomes. This risk-stratified approach may be even more effective now that more people can access DSMES via telemedicine in addition to in-person care.

Abstract
Diabetes imposes an increasing health and economic burden on individuals living with it and their societies worldwide. Glycemic control is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Self-management is the primary tool for managing diabetes. Health literacy (HL) is the primary driver of self-management activities. The aim of this review is to evaluate the impact of HL interventions on glycemic control and self-management outcomes among T2DM. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for eligible papers. Fifteen randomized controlled trials published in English between 1997 and 2021, used HL-driven intervention, and measured the level of glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and self-management of T2DM patients were included in this review. The findings showed that HL-driven intervention had a positive impact on glycemic control and improved self-management behaviors. The level of glycemic control and self-management skills were improved through individual and telephone-based intervention respectively. Community worker-led interventions were effective in improvements in diabetes knowledge and self-care behaviors; however, nurse-led interventions were effective in glycemic control. Better glycemic control is achieved in hospital settings compared to outpatient settings. HL interventions yielded better improvement in self-management among people with longer diabetes duration (more than 7 years). It was possible to achieve a large reduction in HbA1c level after a 3-month intervention in hospital settings. HL-driven interventions are effective in glycemic and diabetes self-management outcomes.

[PMID: 37815866 DOI: 10.1080/17446651.2023.2268171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the impact of neuropsychological functions on self-care/self-management in middle-aged individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). AREAS COVERED A comprehensive literature search was conducted from January 2012 to April 2023 across multiple databases. Ten articles were included in the scoping review, and 3 articles were included in the meta-analysis. The findings consistently indicated an association between reduced neuropsychological functions and poor self-care/self-management in this population. Memory functions, executive functions, and other domains were found to be significantly related to self-care/self-management, including diet management, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, and foot care. EXPERT OPINION This study highlights the importance of considering neuropsychological factors in understanding and improving diabetes management outcomes. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and the development of targeted interventions to address specific vulnerable domains. Future research should focus on elucidating underlying mechanisms, addressing methodological inconsistencies, and exploring the effectiveness of interventions targeting neuropsychological impairments. Incorporating technology and personalized approaches into diabetes management can enhance self-care/self-management and clinical outcomes in individuals with T2DM.

The Impact of Providing Material Benefits to Improve Access to Food on Clinical Parameters, Dietary Intake, and Household Food Insecurity in People with Diabetes: A Systematic Review with Narrative Synthesis. Adv Nutr 2023; 14:1067-1084. [PMID: 37245685 PMCID: PMC10509434 DOI: 10.1016/j.advnut.2023.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The high cost of healthy foods makes maintaining a healthy dietary pattern challenging, particularly among people with diabetes who are experiencing food insecurity. The objectives of this study were to: 1) review evidence on the impact of providing material benefits (e.g., food coupons/vouchers, free food, or financial subsidies/incentives) to improve access to food on clinical parameters, dietary intake, and household food insecurity in people with diabetes, and 2) review relevant economic evidence. Six databases were searched from inception to March 2023 for longitudinal studies with quantitative outcomes. Twenty-one studies were included in the primary review and 2 in the economic analysis. Risk of bias was high in 20 studies and moderate in 1 study. The number of randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized studies reporting statistically significant improvement, alongside Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) certainty of the evidence was: HbA1c: 1/6 and 4/12 (very low), systolic blood pressure: 0/3 and 1/8 (very low), diastolic blood pressure: 0/3 and 1/7 (very low), BMI: 0/5 and 2/8 (very low), body weight: 0/0 and 1/3 (very low), hypoglycemia: 1/2 and 1/2 (very low), daily intake of fruits and vegetables: 1/1 and 1/3 (very low), daily intake of whole grains: 0/0 and 0/2 (very low), overall diet quality: 2/2 and 1/1 (low), and household food insecurity: 2/3 and 0/0 (very low). The 2 studies included in the economic analysis showed no difference in Medicare spending from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation and cost-savings from medically tailored meals in an economic simulation. Overall, providing material benefits to improve access to food for people with diabetes may improve household food insecurity, fruit and vegetable intake, and overall diet quality, but effects on clinical parameters and whole grain intake are unclear. The certainty of evidence was very low to low by GRADE. PROSPERO (CRD42021212951).

The Effect of Including eHealth in Dietary Interventions for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review. Nutrients 2023; 15:3776. [PMID: 37686808 PMCID: PMC10490324 DOI: 10.3390/nu15173776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
eHealth has a growing impact on the delivery of healthcare, making health systems more efficient. This study examined the effect of dietary interventions using eHealth compared to face-to-face contact in patients with (pre-) type 2 diabetes (T2D) and who are overweight/obese. Literature databases were searched upon November 2022. Inclusion criteria: randomized controlled trial; duration ≥ 6 months; involving dietary interventions; performed in adults with (pre-) T2D and who are overweight/obese; using eHealth compared to face-to-face contact; and report outcomes on weight loss, glycemic regulation, and/or cost-effectiveness. Selection of articles was performed manually and using ASReviewLab. Fifteen studies were included for data extraction, investigating a wide variety of eHealth interventions. Seven studies reporting on weight loss showed a significant between-group difference (-1.18 to -5.5 kg); five studies showed a trend in favor of the eHealth programs. Eleven studies reported on HbA1c; three found a significant between-group difference (-0.23 to -0.70%) in favor of the eHealth programs and six studies showed non-significant improvements. Interaction with healthcare professionals led to better results of the dietary interventions. Two studies reported incomplete data on cost-effectiveness. In conclusion, eHealth shows better results of dietary interventions in (pre-) T2D patients compared to face-to-face, especially when combined with interaction with healthcare professionals.

Abstract
Chronic diseases are ubiquitous and costly in American populations. Interventions targeting health behavior change to manage chronic diseases are needed, but previous efforts have fallen short of producing meaningful change on average. Adaptive stepped-care interventions, that tailor treatment based on the needs of the individual over time, are a promising new area in health behavior change. We therefore conducted a systematic review of tests of adaptive stepped-care interventions targeting health behavior changes for adults with chronic diseases. We identified 9 completed studies and 13 research protocols testing adaptive stepped-care interventions for health behavior change. The most common health behaviors targeted were substance use, weight management, and smoking cessation. All identified studies test intermediary tailoring for treatment non-responders via sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMARTs) or singly randomized trials (SRTs); none test baseline tailoring. From completed studies, there were few differences between embedded adaptive interventions and minimal differences between those classified as treatment responders and non-responders. In conclusion, updates to this work will be needed as protocols identified here publish results. Future research could explore baseline tailoring variables, apply methods to additional health behaviors and target populations, test tapering interventions for treatment responders, and consider adults' context when adapting interventions.

Abstract
Introduction Owing to the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the high proportion of patients with uncontrolled T2DM, effective interventions for disease management are needed. Objective The study aim was to test the effects of brief motivational interviewing (MI) on patients' self-management, medication adherence, and glycemic control. Methods A single-group repeated measures trial was used to examine the effects of usual care only and usual care plus telephone-based brief MI. Participants were 29 patients with uncontrolled T2DM recruited from a rural primary care setting in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand. Participants received usual care during the first 4 weeks, followed by usual care plus brief MI during weeks 4-8. Outcomes of self-management, medication adherence, fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way repeated measures analysis of variance, and Friedman test. Results Significant changes in self-management (p < 0.001), medication adherence (p < 0.001), and FBS (p < 0.05) were observed over the 8-week study. In multiple comparisons, self-management was the only parameter significantly different across baseline, 4, and 8 weeks (p <0.05, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively); medication adherence was significantly different between 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.05), and between baseline and 8 weeks (p < 0.001); and FBS was significantly different between 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.05). HbA1c declined over the 8-week study, but not significantly. Conclusion An intervention combining telephone-based brief MI with usual care significantly increased self-management, medication adherence, and glycemic control (ie, FBS) after 4 weeks, whereas usual care only significantly increased self-management. Phone-based brief MI may be an effective way for healthcare providers to remotely enhance patients' self-management and glycemic control, thus reducing barriers related to time and geographic location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is predominantly managed in primary care, and patients need to be provided with appropriate knowledge and education to understand how to best self-manage their condition. For optimal T2D self-management, primary care teams should share this information from the time of diagnosis. Little is currently known about how and when these resources are being provided to patients with T2D in New Zealand. METHODS An online survey was carried out between Oct 2022 and Feb 2023. Patients diagnosed with T2D after Jan 2020 were invited to participate, with recruitment occurring via primary care and social media. Questions included information about demographics, diagnosis, provision of education resources and/or referral services as well as about current diabetes management. All responses were analysed with chi square tests. Free-text comments were summarised only. RESULTS A total of 203 participants from across New Zealand completed the survey, but 18 were excluded due to being diagnosed more than 3 years ago, or self-reporting with type 1 diabetes rather than T2D. Nearly three quarters (70.7%) of participants reported that they were given appropriate resources to understand and manage their T2D, though half of these would have like more information. Overall, family and friends, self-led research and healthcare-provided education were equally useful, though this differed by ethnic groups. Similarly, approx. 70% of patients thought that medications had been well explained. Free text comments suggested a need for more targeted information around food choice and insulin use as well as a need for empathy and appropriate language from healthcare providers. CONCLUSIONS Primary care appears to be providing most newly diagnosed patients with appropriate resources to understand and manage their T2D, but there is room for improvement with up to a third of participants not understanding how to manage foods, medication and lifestyle choices to optimise health outcomes. Further work is required to address this gap and should include the use of culturally-appropriate materials to meet the multi-ethnic population needs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic health condition affecting millions globally. Diabetes is a growing concern among aging societies, with its prevalence increasing among those aged 65 and above. Enabling disease self-management via relevant education is part of high-quality care to improve health outcomes and minimize complications for individuals living with diabetes. Successful diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs usually require tailoring for the intended audience; however, there is limited literature about the preferences of older persons in Western countries concerning DSME. As such, a broad overview of DSME for older persons was an identified need. To map the available evidence on DSME for persons aged 65 years and older in Western countries, the JBI methodology for conducting and reporting scoping reviews was used. In this scoping review, we considered all studies about DSME for older persons with T1D and T2D in Western countries where lifestyles, risks, prevention, treatment of diabetes, and approaches to self-management and DSME are similar (e.g., North America, Western and Northern Europe and Australasia). Systematic keyword and subject heading searches were conducted in 10 databases (e.g., MEDLINE, JBI EBP) to identify relevant English language papers published from 2000 to 2022. Titles and abstracts were screened to select eligible papers for full-text reading. Full-text screening was done by four independent reviewers to select studies for the final analysis. The review identified 2,397 studies, of which 1,250 full texts were screened for eligibility. Of the final 44 papers included in the review, only one included participants' understanding of DSME. The education programs differed in their context, design, delivery mode, theoretical underpinnings, and duration. Type of research designs, outcome measures used to determine the effectiveness of DSME, and knowledge gaps were also detailed. Overall, most interventions were effective and improved clinical and behavioural outcomes. Many of the programs led to improvements in clinical outcomes and participants' quality of life; however, the content needs to be adapted to older persons according to their culture, different degrees of health literacy, preference of education (e.g., individualized or group), preference of setting, degree of frailty and independence, and comorbidities. Few studies included the voices of older persons in the design, implementation, and evaluation of DSME programs. Such experiential knowledge is vital in developing educational programs to ensure alignment with this population's preferred learning styles, literacy levels, culture, and needs-such an approach could manifest more substantive, sustained results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Self-management (SMN) is a recognized component of care for chronic conditions, yet its importance in the context of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is unclear. This study evaluates the status of SMN and its relationship with quality of life (QOL) in Japanese patients with IBD. METHODS A web-based survey was conducted among adult (≥20 years old) Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Registered members of an online IBD information platform completed a 45-item survey covering demographics, diet, treatment, physical condition, stress management, financial concerns, support services, and QOL. SMN was operationally defined by dietary and lifestyle behaviours, and contingency analysis was used to test for associated factors. Individual-level contributions to SMN were identified with logistic regression. RESULTS There were 372 responses to the survey (211 with UC, 161 with CD). Approximately 60% of participants practiced SMN and these patients were 4-24% more likely to report positive QOL than those who did not. SMN was more common in patients with CD than those with UC. SMN practice was also associated with IBD-related hospitalisation/surgery and consultation with others about IBD (e.g. physicians, nurses, patients). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest an association between the practice of SMN and positive QOL in patients with IBD in Japan.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes is largely a self-managed disease; thus, care outcomes are closely linked to self-management behaviours. Structured self-management education (DSME) interventions are, however, largely unavailable in Africa. AIM We sought to characterise DSME interventions in two urban low-resource primary settings; and to explore diabetes self-management knowledge and behaviours, of persons living with diabetes (PLD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted between January and February 2021 in Accra, Ghana. The sampling methods used for selecting participants were total enumeration, consecutive sampling, purposive and judgemental sampling. Multivariable regression models were used to study the association between diabetes self-management knowledge and behaviours. We employed inductive content analysis of informants' experiences and context, to complement the quantitative findings. RESULTS In total, 425 PLD (70.1% (n = 298) females, mean age 58 years (SD 12), with a mean blood glucose of 9.4 mmol/l (SD 6.4)) participated in the quantitative study. Two managers, five professionals, two diabetes experts and 16 PLD participated in in-depth interviews. Finally, 24 PLD were involved in four focus group discussions. The median diabetes self-management knowledge score was 40% ((IQR 20-60). For every one unit increase in diabetes self-management knowledge, there were corresponding increases in the diet (5%;[95% CI: 2%-9%, p<0.05]), exercise (5%; [95% CI:2%-8%, p<0.05]) and glucose monitoring (4%;[95% CI:2%-5%, p<0.05]) domains of the diabetes self-care activities scale respectively. The DSME interventions studied, were unstructured and limited by resources. Financial constraints, conflicting messages, beliefs, and stigma were the themes underpinning self-management behaviour. CONCLUSIONS The DSME interventions studied were under-resourced, and unstructured. Diabetes self-management knowledge though limited, was associated with self-management behaviour. DSME interventions in low resource settings should be culturally tailored and should incorporate sessions on mitigating financial constraints. Future studies should focus on creating structured DSME interventions suited to resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This network meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of bariatric surgery, novel glucose-lowering agents (SGLT2i, GLP1RA, DPP4i), and insulin for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. METHODS Four databases were searched from inception to April 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing bariatric surgery, SGLT2i, GLP1RA, DPP4i, insulin, and/or placebo/usual care among patients with T2DM and obesity in the achievement of HbA1c < 7.0 per cent within one year, and 12-month changes in HbA1c and body weight. RESULTS A total of 376 eligible RCTs (149 824 patients) were analysed. Bariatric surgery had significantly higher rates of achieving HbA1c < 7.0 per cent than SGLT2i (RR = 2.46, 95 per cent c.i. = 1.28, 4.92), DPP4i (RR = 2.59, 95 per cent c.i. = 1.36, 5.13), insulin (RR = 2.27, 95 per cent c.i. = 1.18, 4.58) and placebo/usual care (RR = 4.02, 95 per cent c.i. = 2.13, 7.93), but had no statistically significant difference from GLP1RA (RR = 1.73, 95 per cent c.i. = 0.91, 3.44), regardless of oral (RR = 1.33, 95 per cent c.i. = 0.66, 2.79) or injectable (RR = 1.75, 95 per cent c.i. = 0.92, 3.45) administration. Significantly more GLP1RA patients achieved HbA1c < 7.0 per cent than other non-surgical treatments. Bariatric surgery had the greatest reductions in HbA1c (∼1 per cent more) and body weight (∼15 kg more) at 12 months. Among novel glucose-lowering medications, GLP1RA was associated with greater reductions in HbA1c than SGLT2i (-0.39 per cent, 95 per cent c.i. = -0.55, -0.22) and DPP4i (-0.51 per cent, 95 per cent c.i. = -0.64, -0.39) at 12 months, while GLP1RA (-1.74 kg, 95 per cent c.i. = -2.48, -1.01) and SGLT2i (-2.23 kg, 95 per cent c.i. = -3.07, -1.39) showed greater reductions in body weight than DPP4i at 12 months. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery showed superiority in glycaemic control and weight management compared to non-surgical approaches. GLP1RA administered by oral or injectable form demonstrated reduced HbA1c and body weight at 12 months, and was preferable over other non-surgical treatments among patients with T2DM and obesity.

Abstract
(1) Background: Achieving successful tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes among diabetic patients is a real challenge as TB complicates control of diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated dual management educational module, MID-DOTS, which uses the mmotivational interviewing (MI) technique implemented within directly observed treatment as part of a short course (DOTS) program in TB patients with diabetes (TB/DM). A randomized controlled trial was conducted in the northeastern state of Malaysia. (2) Methods: One hundred and twenty-four TB patients with diabetes received educational intervention using a MID-DOT module that used the MI technique, which was repetitively applied by TB nurses throughout a 6-month DOTS program while another 122 patients were given standard health education. Study outcomes include the proportion of patients with successful TB treatment, and changes in HbA1c and diabetic self-care scores at 6 months. (3) Results: The successful TB treatment outcome was 88% in the intervention group versus 72% in the control group (RR = 1.24; 95%CI 1.16, 1.58). A significant reduction of HbA1c (mean difference 0.82%; 95%CI 0.66, 0.98) and significantly higher diabetes self-care score (mean difference 8.49; 95%CI 7.38, 9.59) were also shown in the intervention group. (4) Conclusions: A dual TB/DM educational strategy which integrates the MI technique applied repetitively within the DOTS program is effective in increasing successful TB treatment as well as improving diabetic outcomes.

Abstract
This study evaluated the efficacy of the Occupational Therapy Diabetes Self-Management intervention (OTDSM) to enhance glycemic stability and self-management skills in people with diabetes type-2. Based on this single-blind randomized trial, 30 subjects with diabetes type-2 were assigned to two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received a 10-week program, consisting of four group visits and six individualized sessions. The control group received an individual session and three weekly phone calls. The primary study outcome, blood hemoglobin A1C, was measured before and three months after the study. The secondary outcome was assessed in terms of the participants' self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, diabetes distress, depressive symptoms, and performance and satisfaction with daily activities. These outcomes were evaluated three times: before, one month into, and three months after the study. The study findings demonstrated significant differences between the two groups in the hemoglobin A1C levels, self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and performance and satisfaction with daily routines after the intervention (P < 0.05). No significant differences existed between the groups for the extent of diabetes distress and depressive symptoms. Inclusion of occupational therapy protocol into the plan of care for people with diabetes can improve health outcomes by promoting their routine participation in self-management activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) improves diabetes outcomes yet remains consistently underutilized. Chatbot technology offers the potential to increase access to and engagement in DSMES. Evidence supporting the case for chatbot uptake and efficacy in people with diabetes (PWD) is needed. METHOD A diabetes education and support chatbot was deployed in a regional health care system. Adults with type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 8.0% to 8.9% and/or having recently completed a 12-week diabetes care management program were enrolled in a pilot program. Weekly chats included three elements: knowledge assessment, limited self-reporting of blood glucose data and medication taking behaviors, and education content (short videos and printable materials). A clinician facing dashboard identified need for escalation via flags based on participant responses. Data were collected to assess satisfaction, engagement, and preliminary glycemic outcomes. RESULTS Over 16 months, 150 PWD (majority above 50 years of age, female, and African American) were enrolled. The unenrollment rate was 5%. Most escalation flags (N = 128) were for hypoglycemia (41%), hyperglycemia (32%), and medication issues (11%). Overall satisfaction was high for chat content, length, and frequency, and 87% reported increased self-care confidence. Enrollees completing more than one chat had a mean drop in A1C of -1.04%, whereas those completing one chat or less had a mean increase in A1C of +0.09% (P = .008). CONCLUSION This diabetes education chatbot pilot demonstrated PWD acceptability, satisfaction, and engagement plus preliminary evidence of self-care confidence and A1C improvement. Further efforts are needed to validate these promising early findings.

Abstract
INTERVENTION A 90-day intervention employed peer coaching, with and without home-based electronic devices connected to an app, to assess effectiveness in enhancing self-reported health outcomes of older adults. RESEARCH QUESTION Does peer coaching aid older adults to better manage their chronic health conditions, and is the coaching further enhanced by home-based electronic devices? METHODS The study employed a pre-post intervention randomized controlled trial design with three groups: control (no coach, no devices), coach only, and coach + devices. Participants were 163 adults living in British Columbia, Canada, aged 65 to 98 years, with one or more chronic health conditions and access to a computer and Wi-Fi. Responses on five questionnaires assessed health outcomes pre- and post-intervention: Self-Efficacy Scale, PHQ-9, Medical Care, Patient Activation Measure and the RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 Questionnaire. RESULTS Compared with the control group (no coach, no devices), participants with a coach reported decreased depression, higher activation levels and energy levels, and better handling of role limitations due to physical health, social functioning, and communication with their physician. Participants with coaches and devices showed similar improvements on these measures with further decreases in depression severity as well as improved self-efficacy, better handling of role limitations due to emotional problems, higher level of emotional well-being and general health ratings, and lower pain. CONCLUSION Peer coaches alone and in combination with assistive devices demonstrated several positive outcomes for older persons with chronic conditions that lasted at least 90 days. The program can enhance effectiveness of care provided by general practitioners.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this evidence implementation project was to promote evidence-based practices regarding the delivery of diabetes self-management education via telehealth in conjunction with remote patient monitoring within the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Center for Telehealth. INTRODUCTION Diabetes self-management education plays a critical role in supporting self-care behaviors that can improve glycemic control, but certain patient populations have poor access to this service. Telehealth offers an innovative approach to addressing geographical and socioeconomic barriers to diabetes self-management education. METHODS This evidence implementation project used the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (JBI PACES) and Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) framework for promoting evidence-based healthcare. APPLICATION A baseline audit was conducted to identify areas of strengths where best practices were already being implemented and areas of opportunity for improvement. The project team aligned on practical and sustainable interventions for delivering optimal diabetes self-management education via telehealth. Postimplementation audits were conducted to determine success of the interventions. RESULTS Baseline audits revealed an average compliance of 47.7% with five best practices for diabetes self-management education for adults with type 2 diabetes via telehealth. After strategies to improve compliance were implemented, compliance improved to 80%. CONCLUSIONS The objectives of this project were realized. The team was able to promote evidence-based practices regarding the delivery of education via telehealth in conjunction with remote patient monitoring, as evidenced by a measurable improvement in adherence to best practices. The primary intervention focused on individualization of education based on patient-specific needs.

Abstract
Background Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) interventions among food insecure individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have found modest improvements in nutrition and health outcomes but are limited by barriers to attendance and retention. This study applies a community-based participatory research approach, engaging community members at all levels of intervention planning, development, implementation, and dissemination, to deliver a plain-language DSMES curriculum to food insecure community members with T2D. Methods This is a single-arm, pre-post design assessing the efficacy of a 12-week home-delivered DSMES curriculum and T2D-appropriate food box intervention to improve the nutrition and health outcomes of food insecure individuals with T2D. The intervention consists of a weekly food box delivery and handout with video links on key DSMES topics, developed and refined using community advisor feedback. Up to 100 English-, Spanish-, or Marshallese-speaking adult participants with T2D (HbA1c ≥ 7%) and food insecurity are being recruited from food pantries in northwest Arkansas. Data is collected at pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention. The primary study outcome is change in HbA1c. Secondary measures include diet quality (Healthy Eating Index-2015, calculated from 3 24-h dietary recall interviews via phone), body mass index, blood pressure, skin carotenoids, food security, T2D self-management behaviors, T2D self-efficacy, and T2D-related distress. Results Recruitment began in August 2021 and enrollment is anticipated to be complete in March 2023. Conclusion Findings from this study will provide a rich understanding of diabetes-related health outcomes and dietary patterns of individuals with food insecurity and T2D and inform future food-focused DSMES interventions in this setting.

Abstract
Background Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, and innovative patient support programmes can help and inform patients about their disease and improve their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the T-Coach programme in terms of improvement of disease knowledge, self-management and adherence to treatment in a real-world setting in Spain between July 2016 and October 2018. Methods We analyzed data from the T-Coach programme, a telephone platform that gives support to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300). Support was provided by diabetes care nurses. Patients followed their treatment and aimed to achieve fasting blood glucose targets through diabetes education. Results A total of 479 patients were included in the programme. The mean (SD) dose of Gla-300 was 28.5 (16.3) U at baseline and 31.8 (16.1) U, 31.4 (16.4) U and 32.2 (16.3) U, respectively, at 3, 6 and 12 months. A satisfaction survey was completed by 240 (50.1%) patients, who, on average, were very highly satisfied with the programme, general assistance provided, recommendations received, and calls from nurses. Conclusions T-Coach could be an effective tool to help patients achieve their optimal dose of Gla-300 insulin and manage their blood glucose levels. It could also act as an effective support for diabetes education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major health problem in the western world. Despite a widespread implementation of integrated care programs there are still patients with poorly controlled T2DM. Shared goal setting within the process of Shared Decision Making (SDM) may increase patient's compliance and adherence to treatment regimen. In our secondary analysis of the cluster-randomized controlled DEBATE trial, we investigated if patients with shared vs. non-shared HbA1c treatment goal, achieve their glycemic goals. METHODS In a German primary care setting, we collected data before intervention at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Patients with T2DM with an HbA1c ≥ 8.0% (64 mmol/mol) at the time of recruitment and complete data at baseline and after 24 months were eligible for the presented analyses. Using a generalized estimating equation analysis, we analysed the association between the achievement of HbA1c goals at 24 months based on their shared vs. non-shared status, age, sex, education, partner status, controlled for baseline HbA1c and insulin therapy. RESULTS From N = 833 recruited patients at baseline, n = 547 (65.7%) from 105 General Practitioners (GPs) were analysed. 53.4% patients were male, 33.1% without a partner, 64.4% had a low educational level, mean age was 64.6 (SD 10.6), 60.7% took insulin at baseline, mean baseline HbA1c was 9.1 (SD 1.0). For 287 patients (52.5%), the GPs reported to use HbA1c as a shared goal, for 260 patients (47.5%) as a non-shared goal. 235 patients (43.0%) reached the HbA1c goal after two years, 312 patients (57.0%) missed it. Multivariable analysis shows that shared vs. non-shared HbA1c goal setting, age, sex, and education are not associated with the achievement of the HbA1c goal. However, patients living without a partner show a higher risk of missing the goal (p = .003; OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.25-2.86). CONCLUSIONS Shared goal setting with T2DM patients targeting on HbA1c-levels had no significant impact on goal achievement. It may be assumed, that shared goal setting on patient-related clinical outcomes within the process of SDM has not been fully captured yet. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at ISRCTN registry under the reference ISRCTN70713571.

Fukushima study for Engaging people with type 2 Diabetes in Behaviour Associated Change (FEEDBACK): study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial. Trials 2023; 24:317. [PMID: 37158959 PMCID: PMC10169507 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-023-07345-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the rising cost of healthcare worldwide make it imperative to identify interventions that can promote sustained self-management behaviour in T2DM populations while minimising costs for healthcare systems. The present FEEDBACK study (Fukushima study for Engaging people with type 2 Diabetes in Behaviour Associated Change) aims to evaluate the effects of a novel behaviour change intervention designed to be easily implemented and scaled across a wide range of primary care settings. METHODS A cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) with a 6-month follow-up will be conducted to evaluate the effects of the FEEDBACK intervention. FEEDBACK is a personalised, multi-component intervention intended to be delivered by general practitioners during a routine diabetes consultation. It consists of five steps aimed at enhancing doctor-patient partnership to motivate self-management behaviour: (1) communication of cardiovascular risks using a 'heart age' tool, (2) goal setting, (3) action planning, (4) behavioural contracting, and (5) feedback on behaviour. We aim to recruit 264 adults with T2DM and suboptimal glycaemic control from 20 primary care practices in Japan (cluster units) that will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The primary outcome measure will be the change in HbA1c levels at 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcome measures include the change in cardiovascular risk score, the probability to achieve the recommended glycaemic target (HbA1c <7.0% [53mmol/mol]) at 6-month follow-up, and a range of behavioural and psychosocial variables. The planned primary analyses will be carried out at the individual level, according to the intention-to-treat principle. Between-group comparisons for the primary outcome will be analysed using mixed-effects models. This study protocol received ethical approval from the research ethics committee of Kashima Hospital, Fukushima, Japan (reference number: 2022002). DISCUSSION This article describes the design of a cluster RCT that will evaluate the effects of FEEDBACK, a personalised, multicomponent intervention aimed at enhancing doctor-patient partnership to engage adults with T2DM more effectively in self-management behaviour. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was prospectively registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR ID UMIN000049643 assigned on 29/11/2022). On submission of this manuscript, recruitment of participants is ongoing.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between family support and self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes in Middle Anatolia Region of Turkey. METHODS This descriptive relation-seeker-type study conducted with 284 patients who met inclusion criteria between February and May 2020 in the internal medicine and endocrinology clinics and polyclinics of a university hospital. Data were collected using, a demographic questionnaire, Hensarling's Diabetes Family Support Scale (HDFSS), and Diabetes Self-Care Scale (DSCS). RESULTS Participants had a mean DSCS and HDFSS score of 83.20 ± 18.63 and 82.44 ± 28.04, respectively. There was a strong correlation between DSCS and HDFSS scores (r:.621) (p < 0.001). Participants' DSCS totals score was strongly correlated with their HDFSS "empathetic support" (p = 0.001, r = 0.625), "encouragement" (p = 0.001, r = 0.558), "facilitative support" (p = 0.001, r = 0.558), and "participative support" scores (p = 0.001, r = 0.555). CONCLUSIONS Patients with more family support have higher levels of self-care. The results underline the significance of focusing on the relationship between self-care and family support in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine racial and ethnic differences in diabetes self-management education (DSME) participation among adults with diabetes. METHODS Population-based, cross-sectional data from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System diabetes module were analyzed. Study cohort included 9881 adults age 18 years or older with self-reported diabetes living in 11 US states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. The outcome variable was participation in DSME. Weighted descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were computed to investigate the association between race and ethnicity and participation in DSME, adjusting for self-reported social determinants of health factors (eg, sex, education, employment, health insurance). RESULTS Overall, 19.3% self-identified as non-Hispanic Black, 16.5% as Hispanic, and 59.9% as non-Hispanic White. Of participants, 44.3% were between 66 and 80 years old, and 50.4% were women. Half (50.1%) reported participating in DSME, and 78.5% had seen clinicians for diabetes-related care 1 to 5 times in the past year. Hispanic participants were less likely to report participation in DSME (28.5%) compared to non-Hispanic Black (60.3%) and non-Hispanic White (53.4%) participants (P < .001). Adults with diabetes who were less likely to participate in DSME tend to be unmarried, have high school or lower-level education, and not exercise regularly. CONCLUSIONS Racial and ethnic differences exist in DSME participation. Because DSME has been shown to improve diabetes outcomes, there is a need to develop strategies promoting equity in DSME participation, particularly among Hispanic populations, to reduce health disparities in diabetes care.

Perceptions of the primary health care team about the implementation of integrated care of patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension in Slovenia: qualitative study. BMC Health Serv Res 2023; 23:362. [PMID: 37046293 PMCID: PMC10091568 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-023-09353-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrated care involves good coordination, networking, and communication within health care services and externally between providers and patients or informal caregivers. It affects the quality of services, is more cost-effective, and contributes to greater satisfaction among individuals and providers of integrated care. In our study, we examined the implementation and understanding of integrated care from the perspective of providers - the health care team - and gained insights into the current situation. METHODS Eight focus groups were conducted with health care teams, involving a total of 48 health care professionals, including family physicians, registered nurses, practice nurses, community nurses, and registered nurses working in a health education center. Prior to conducting the focus groups, a thematic guide was developed based on the literature and contextual knowledge with the main themes of the integrated care package. The analysis was conducted using the NVivo program. RESULTS We identified 12 main themes with 49 subthemes. Health care professionals highlighted good accessibility and the method of diagnostic screening integrated with preventive examinations as positive aspects of the current system of integrated care in Slovenia. They mentioned the good cooperation within the team, with the involvement of registered nurses and community nurses being a particular advantage. Complaints were made about the high workload and the lack of workforce. They feel that patients do not take the disease seriously enough and that patients as teachers could be useful. CONCLUSION Primary care teams described the importance of implementing integrated care for diabetes and hypertension patients at four levels: Patient, community, care providers, and state. Primary care teams also recognized the importance of including more professionals from different health care settings on their team.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires consistent self-management for optimal health outcomes. People with diabetes are prone to burnout, cognitive burden, and sub-optimal performance of self-management tasks. Interventions that focus on habit formation have the potential to increase engagement by facilitating automaticity of self-management task performance. The purpose of this review is to (1) clarify the conceptualizations of habit formation and behavioral automaticity in the context of health behavior interventions, (2) review the evidence of habit in relation to behaviors relevant to diabetes self-management, and (3) discuss opportunities for incorporating habit formation and automaticity into diabetes self-management interventions. RECENT FINDINGS Modern habit research describes a habit as a behavior that results over time from an automatic mental process. Automatic behaviors are experienced as cue-dependent, goal-independent, unconscious, and efficient. Habit formation requires context-dependent repetition to form cue-behavior associations. Results of diabetes habit studies are mixed. Observational studies have shown positive associations between habit strength and target self-management behaviors such as taking medication and monitoring blood glucose, as well as glycemic outcomes such as HbA1c. However, intervention studies conducted in similar populations have not demonstrated a significant benefit of habit-forming interventions compared to controls, possibly due to varying techniques used to promote habit formation. Automaticity of self-management behaviors has the potential to minimize the burden associated with performance of self-management tasks and ultimately improve outcomes for people with diabetes. Future studies should focus on refining interventions focused on context-dependent repetition to promote habit formation and better measurement of habit automaticity in diabetes self-management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the association between glycemia control with level of diabetes knowledge, diabetes education, and lifestyle variables in patients with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN Cross-sectional analytical study. SITE: Clinics of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Mexico. PARTICIPANTS Patients with type 2 diabetes. MAIN MEASUREMENTS Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, and lipid profile levels were measured from fasting venous blood samples. Assessment of disease knowledge was performed using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured. Weight and abdominal circumference were measured, as well as body composition using bioimpedance. Sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables were obtained. RESULTS A total of 297 patients were included, sixty-seven percent (67%) were women with a median of six years since the diagnosis of diabetes. Only 7% of patients had adequate diabetes knowledge, and 56% had regular knowledge. Patients with adequate diabetes knowledge had a lower body mass index (p=0.016), lower percentage of fat (p=0.008), and lower fat mass (p=0.018); followed a diet (p=0.004) and had received diabetes education (p=0.002), and to obtain information about their illness (p=0.001). Patients with low levels of diabetes knowledge had a higher risk of HbA1c≥7% (OR: 4.68; 95% CI: 1.48,14.86; p=0.009), as well as those who did not receive diabetes education (OR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.21-3.90; p=0.009) and those who did not follow a diet (OR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.01,5.55; p=0.046). CONCLUSION Inadequate knowledge of diabetes, lack of diabetes education, and dietary adherence are associated with poor glycemia control in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To describe experiences of living with obesity before the start of a group-based lifestyle intervention. BACKGROUND Obesity is a chronic disease that affects a person's physical and psychological health. Increased knowledge of experiences of living with obesity is required. DESIGN A qualitative study with a descriptive design. METHODS Semi-structured individual interviews with 17 participants living with obesity (Body Mass Index 32-49) were conducted between October and November 2019. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The COREQ checklist was followed. RESULTS The analysis resulted in one main theme: Struggling for a lighter tomorrow and three subthemes: Suffering, Resilience and Need for support in making changes. For the majority of the participants, living with obesity was a lifelong struggle involving suffering on different levels. Yet despite this, the participants had not given up and hoped for a better life. They showed a degree of resilience and motivation, and a perceived ability to achieve lifestyle changes. However, there was a pronounced need for support to help them achieve this. CONCLUSION Living with obesity is complex and carries a risk of medical complications as well as psychosocial suffering. Healthy lifestyle habits to achieve better health and to lose weight should be encouraged, taking patient resources into account. Patients also need help in handling weight stigmatisation, and both healthcare professionals and society must engage with this. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Obesity is a chronic disease, and patients need ongoing support. Therefore, care for patients with obesity in primary health care must be further developed. Patient resources and strengths have to be acknowledged and encouraged in the process of helping them adopt healthy lifestyle habits. The findings of this study can contribute to ending weight stigmatisation by increasing the knowledge of living with obesity.
