Patient perceptions of cardiovascular risk, lipid management and statins in type 1 diabetes
Lipid-lowering reduces cardiovascular risk in type 1 diabetes (T1D), but dyslipidaemia remains under-recognised and under-treated. Through patient surveys, barriers to lipid management in T1D were identified, including lack of awareness of cardiovascular risk and cholesterol levels, preference for managing glycaemia over lipids, preference for lifestyle modification over pharmacotherapy, and statin side-effect concerns.

Geographic variation in diabetic retinopathy screening within the Veterans Health Administration
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains the leading cause of vision impairment among working-age adults in the United States. The Veterans Health Administration (VA) supplemented its DR screening efforts with teleretinal imaging in 2006. Despite its scale and longevity, no national data on the VA ’s screening program exists since 1998. Our objective was to determine the influence of geography on diabetic retinopathy screening adherence. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)

Management of people with prediabetes and the implementation of diabetes prevention programme
Prediabetes is a state of hyperglycemia between normal and diabetes, in which individuals are at increased risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The conversion rate of prediabetes to T2D is 7 % in the first year and 13 % within 2 years according to a cohort study among 14,272 participants in the United Kingdom [9]. Comparable figure of about 10 % conversion rate per year is reported in the United States [4]. Among individuals with prediabetes, there is also greater chance of having comorbid dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease than those with normal glucose tolerance [6], as well as higher risk o...

Lower serum zinc level is associated with higher fasting insulin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and relates with disturbed glucagon suppression response in male patients
In this study, we aimed to investigate the level of zinc in diabetic patients and its association with glycemic parameters, insulin, and glucagon level. Methods: 112 individuals (59 cases of type 2DM and 53 non-diabetic controls) were included in this study. Biochemical parameters (FBG, 2hpp, HbA1C), and zinc level in the serum were measured using colorimetric assays. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)
