Aim: Education on insulin self-injection techniques is important for good glycemic control, but its effectiveness in some elderly patients is limited due to loss of cognitive function and impaired activities of daily living. We hypothesized that classification using the Dementia Assessment Sheet for Community-based Integrated Care System 8-items (DASC-8) would help identify elderly patients with diabetes who effectively learn self-injection techniques.
Methods: Diabetes patients aged ≥ 65 years who used a self-injection insulin pen were administered the DASC-8 and a questionnaire to evaluate insulin self-injection techniques, and then received technical education.
Background: Whether human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers can develop sufficient humoral immunity after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is unknown.
Methods: To investigate humoral immunity after COVID-19 vaccination in HTLV-1 carriers, a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study was conducted at five institutions in southwestern Japan, an endemic area for HTLV-1. HTLV-1 carriers and HTLV-1-negative controls were enrolled for this study from January to December 2022.
Aims: The longitudinal effect of personality traits on glycemic control is unclear. This prospective observational study explored the relationship between personality traits and glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled diabetes after inpatient diabetes education.
Methods: Patients with diabetes mellitus (HbA1c ≥ 7.
Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. We hypothesized that imeglimin, a novel oral hypoglycemic agent, would improve endothelial function.
Methods: In this study, imeglimin was administered to patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c ≥ 6.
