Abstract
The American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS), American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), and Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) convened a panel of internists and diabetologists to update the ADA consensus statement on hyperglycemic crises in adults with diabetes, published in 2001 and last updated in 2009. The objective of this consensus report is to provide up-to-date knowledge about the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) in adults. A systematic examination of publications since 2009 informed new recommendations. The target audience is the full spectrum of diabetes health care professionals and individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
In 2020, Colorado became the first state to cap out-of-pocket spending for insulin prescriptions, requiring fully insured health plans to cap out-of-pocket spending at $100 for a thirty-day supply. We provide the first evidence on the association of Colorado's Insulin Affordability Program with patient out-of-pocket spending, the amounts paid by plans per insulin prescription, and prescription filling. Using statewide claims data from the period 2018-21, we focused on the first two years that the copay cap law was in effect. We found that Colorado's Insulin Affordability Program was associated with significant reductions in out-of-pocket spending for insulin prescriptions, with the mean out-of-pocket payment per thirty-day supply falling nearly in half (from $62.59 to $35.64). Average plan payments increased slightly more ($31.39) than the decrease in out-of-pocket spending, as the total amount paid per prescription increased by about 1 percent. The average insulin user realized annual savings of $184, while the mean number of fills and the mean days' supply per year increased by 4.2 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relative hazards of acute and chronic diabetes complications among people with diabetes across the U.S. rural-urban continuum. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, a deidentified data set of U.S. commercial and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, to follow 2,901,563 adults (age ≥18 years) with diabetes between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2021. We compared adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of diabetes complications in remote areas (population <2,500), small towns (population 2,500-50,000), and cities (population >50,000). RESULTS Compared with residents of cities, residents of remote areas had greater hazards of myocardial infarction (HR 1.06 [95% CI 1.02-1.10]) and revascularization (HR 1.04 [1.02-1.06]) but lower hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 0.90 [0.83-0.98]) and stroke (HR 0.91 [0.88-0.95]). Compared with cities, residents of small towns had greater hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 1.06 [1.02-1.10]), hypoglycemia (HR 1.15 [1.12-1.18]), end-stage kidney disease (HR 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), myocardial infarction (HR 1.10 [1.08-1.12]), heart failure (HR 1.05 [1.03-1.06]), amputation (HR 1.05 [1.02-1.09]), other lower-extremity complications (HR 1.02 [1.01-1.03]), and revascularization (HR 1.05 [1.04-1.06]) but a smaller hazard of stroke (HR 0.95 [0.94-0.97]). Compared with small towns, residents of remote areas had lower hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 0.85 [0.78-0.93]), hypoglycemia (HR 0.92 [0.87-0.97]), and heart failure (HR 0.94 [0.91-0.97]). Hazards of retinopathy and atrial fibrillation/flutter did not vary geographically. CONCLUSIONS Adults in small towns are disproportionately impacted by complications of diabetes. Future studies should probe for the reasons underlying these disparities.

Abstract
Importance Preventing diabetes complications requires monitoring and control of hyperglycemia and cardiovascular risk factors. Switching to high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) has been shown to hinder aspects of diabetes care; however, the association of HDHP enrollment with microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications is unknown. Objective To examine the association between an employer-required switch to an HDHP and incident complications of diabetes. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study used deidentified administrative claims data for US adults with diabetes enrolled in employer-sponsored health plans between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Data analysis was performed from May 26, 2022, to January 2, 2024. Exposures Adults with a baseline year of non-HDHP enrollment who had to switch to an HDHP because their employer offered no non-HDHP alternative in that year were compared with adults who were continuously enrolled in a non-HDHP. Main Outcomes and Measures Mixed-effects logistic regression models examined the association between switching to an HDHP and, individually, the odds of myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, lower-extremity complication, end-stage kidney disease, proliferative retinopathy, treatment for retinopathy, and blindness. Models were adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, and medications, with inverse propensity score weighting used to account for potential selection bias. Results The study included 42 326 adults who switched to an HDHP (mean [SD] age, 52 [10] years; 19 752 [46.7%] female) and 202 729 adults who did not switch (mean [SD] age, 53 [10] years; 89 828 [44.3%] female). Those who switched to an HDHP had greater odds of experiencing all diabetes complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.06-1.16 for myocardial infarction; OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.09-1.21 for stroke; OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.30-1.41 for hospitalization for heart failure; OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 2.38-2.70 for end-stage kidney disease; OR, 2.23; 95% CI, 2.17-2.29 for lower-extremity complication; OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.13-1.21 for proliferative retinopathy; OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 2.18-2.54 for blindness; and OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 2.15-2.41 for retinopathy treatment). Conclusions and Relevance This study found that an employer-driven switch to an HDHP was associated with increased odds of experiencing all diabetes complications. These findings reinforce the potential harm associated with HDHPs for people with diabetes and the importance of affordable and accessible chronic disease management, which is hindered by high out-of-pocket costs incurred by HDHPs.
