The impact of a prolonged lockdown and utilization of diabetes telemedicine on cardiometabolic health in people with diabetes during the COVID-19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Saudi Arabia implemented a nationwide lockdown that lasted for approximately five months. Due to the limited availability of telemedicine in Saudi Arabia, many people with diabetes (PWD) lost access to diabetes care services during the lockdown period. Here, we examined the impact of lockdown on cardiometabolic health in PWD and how this may have differed between those who utilized diabetes telemedicine during lockdown versus those who did not.

A Delphi consensus study introducing a Problem And attRibutes ‐bAsed DIabetes self‐manaGeMent (PARADIGM) intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes
Encouraging patients to improve their self-management behavior based on a strict definition of the intervention is important for a standardized delivery but, until recently, there was no consensus on the core attributes that define such an intervention. The purpose of this study is to generate a core-attribute based and stakeholder-informed problem-based curriculum for promotion of type 2 diabetes self-management structured around five core attributes derived from a previous concept analysis that defined the intervention.

Persisting prediabetic conditions and glomerular filtration rate – A longitudinal study
The aim was to explore differences in the development of eGFR in persisting prediabetic conditions. This prospective study including 1327 individuals showed that eGFR decreased more in individuals with persisting IGT than in individuals with persisting IFG. Repeating OGTT and monitoring eGFR might improve the risk estimation in prediabetes. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)

Risk of incident diabetes post-COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis
It remains undetermined whether burden of diabetes newly detected during acute COVID-19 persist in post-acute COVID phase. This meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the available literature and provide a pooled estimate of the risk of developing incident diabetes following hospital discharge or at least 28 days after the COVID-19 diagnosis compared to matched controls or severity matched influenza/ non-COVID-19 acute upper respiratory tract infections (AURI). Pooled analysis of 5787,027 subjects from four observational studies showed 59 % higher risk of developing incident diabetes in post-acute COVID-19 phase versus h...
