How online peer support affects management efficacy and mitigates difficulties of parents caring for children with type 1 diabetes
The proper management of pediatric type 1 diabetes depends substantially on the parents of affected children. Parental psychological traits specifically related to diabetes caregiving influence the quality of their care and management of the disease in their children. Parents often use Facebook groups as sources of peer support and information about diabetes care. The present study aimed to examine the influence of devices used in diabetes management, ascertain the impact of Facebook peer-support groups on parental perceptions of problems and probe parental self-efficacy.

Diabetes mellitus-related musculoskeletal disorders: Unveiling the cluster of diseases
The current study ushers in a comprehensive review in clinical research to demonstrate the prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) complications in diabetes mellitus and the most relevant clinical aspects. In particular, revealing the early symptoms of the disorders, the pathology lurking behind the complications and their optimal management. In diabetes mellitus, MSK complications are common and are largely due to similar pathogenetic factors responsible for the internal organ complications associated with diabetes leading to chronic low-intensity inflammatory processes.

Associations of cardiovascular health assessed by life ’s essential 8 with diabetic retinopathy and mortality in type 2 diabetes
Vascular complications are the leading causes of reduced life quality and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Life ’s Essential 8 (LE8) is a newly modified measurement of cardiovascular health (CVH) by American Heart Association (AHA). Promoting CVH has been previously shown to improve the prognosis of T2DM. However, studies regarding the effects of CVH by LE8 on diabetic retinopathy (DR), a major microvascula r complication, and death from the cardiovascular and overall causes in T2DM are currently lacking.

Considerations when planning and conducting large global observational studies: Experience from the DISCOVER study of patients with type 2 diabetes
DISCOVER is a global programme of observational research that includes patients with type 2 diabetes initiating second-line glucose-lowering therapy from 38 countries worldwide, including many with little or no previous epidemiological data available. More than 15,000 patients were followed-up for 3 years, and comprehensive data were collected using a standardized electronic case report form at enrolment, and 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. The study has formed the basis for a long-term registry that is intended to expand the geographic and clinical scope of the study and allow data collection beyond 3 years.
