Urine ACR uptake in patients with a diagnosis of type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in a primary care setting: A cross sectional study
A recent change in the diabetes Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) retired the mandatory testing of urinary ACR. We designed a study demonstrates the impact of this change in a primary healthcare setting. This is relevant as a significant proportion of the NHS budget is spent on managing microvascular and macrovascular complications that result from type 1 and 2 Diabetes mellitus.

Improved glycemic control after the use of flash glucose monitoring accompanied by improved treatment satisfaction in patients with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes: A post-hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial
In our previously reported randomized controlled trial in patients with noninsulin-treated type 2 diabetes, the use of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) improved glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the improvement was sustained after the cessation of glucose monitoring. In this post-hoc analysis, we examined data from our trial to identify the factors that influenced FGM efficacy. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)

Associations of blood pressure with cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in over 2 million older persons with or without diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 45 cohort studies
The impact of blood pressure on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality outcomes in older people with diabetes mellitus (DM) is not well quantified. Using a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational cohort studies, we aimed to compare the associations of blood pressure levels with cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in older people aged ≥ 65 years with or without DM.

Implementation status of prediction models for type 2 diabetes
Although a prediction model is expected to identify individuals who are at a high risk of type 2 diabetes, the implementation status of prediction models has not been well examined. Our review indicates that the implementation of predictive models in practice remains low despite the increase in models being developed. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)
