Overweight and Obesity in People Living With Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the BETTER Registry.

Aims: The prevalence and associations of overweight and obesity in Canadian adult people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) are poorly documented. In a cohort of PWT1D patients, this study assesses (i) overweight and obesity frequencies and associated PWT1D clinicodemographic characteristics, (ii) diabetes characteristics, and (iii) the use of noninsulin adjunctive agents.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of self-reported data from the BETTER registry: 1091 adult PWT1D (aged 44.

Evaluation of , a self-guided online type 1 diabetes self-management education and support web application-a mixed methods study.

Background: Type 1 diabetes requires making numerous daily decisions to maintain normoglycemia. is an evidence-based self-guided web application for type 1 diabetes diabetes self-management.

Objective: Evaluate users' satisfaction with and investigate changes in self-reported frequency of-, fear of- hypoglycemia, and diabetes-related self-efficacy.

Influence of severe hypoglycemia definition wording on reported prevalence in adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: a cross-sectional analysis from the BETTER patient-engagement registry analysis.

Aims: Compare the self-reported prevalence of severe hypoglycemia (level-3-H) in people with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) according to two wording of definition: by the International Hypoglycemia Study Group (IHSG) and an alternate simplified version developed by patient-partners (PP).

Methods: Cross-sectional study (PWT1D >  = 14 years) self-reporting risk factors, patient-year incidence and annual prevalence of level-3-H were defined according to either IHSG's wording (low sugar levels requiring help from another person, or use of glucagon, or hospitalization, or loss of consciousness) or with an alternative simpler wording developed by PP (low sugar levels that you would have been unable to treat).

Results: Among 1430 eligible participants, in the last 12 months, the annual prevalence of level-3-H (IHSG: 242/100 vs.

Self-reported Severe and Nonsevere Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes: Population Surveillance Through the BETTER Patient Engagement Registry: Development and Baseline Characteristics.

Objectives: The BETTER (BEhaviors, Therapies, TEchnologies and hypoglycemic Risk in Type 1 diabetes) registry is a type 1 diabetes population surveillance system codeveloped with patient partners to address the burden of hypoglycemia and assess the impact of new therapies and technologies. The aim of this report was to describe the baseline characteristics of the BETTER registry cohort.

Methods: A cross-sectional baseline evaluation was performed of a Canadian clinical cohort established after distribution of an online questionnaire.
