Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the rate of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) utilization among Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) and Medicare Advantage (MA) populations with type 2 diabetes in Arkansas.
Methods: The Arkansas All-Payer Claims Database was used to identify Medicare FFS and MA beneficiaries diagnosed with type 2 diabetes from 2015 to 2018. Claims from 2013 to 2020 were analyzed to determine newly diagnosed individuals from 2015 to 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) has a big problem with type 2 diabetes, affecting 23% of the population, which is much higher than in the US and worldwide.
- This article explains a study designed to test a new program that helps families manage diabetes through community health workers in local churches.
- The research aims to find effective ways to support diabetes care in the RMI and how it could help other small countries facing similar health issues.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of three interventions to reduce diabetes distress (DD) and improve HbA1c among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Research Design And Methods: Individuals with T1D (n = 276) with elevated DD (a score >2 on the total Type 1 Diabetes Distress Scale) and HbA1c (>7.5%) were recruited from multiple settings and randomly assigned to one of three virtual group-based programs: 1) Streamline, an educator-led education and diabetes self-management program; 2) TunedIn, a psychologist-led program focused exclusively on emotional-focused DD reduction; or 3) FixIt, an integration of Streamline and TunedIn.

These perfumes, stored in specialized hind-leg pouches and released during courtship, serve as inter-sexual signals. It has been hypothesized that male perfumes honestly indicate aspects of male fitness.

This study aims to address these challenges by delivering a T2DM-appropriate food box and recipes directly to rural participants' homes.
