'CPR for Feet' care bundle to improve foot assessment in inpatient diabetes.

Aims: The Scottish Inpatient Diabetes Foot Audit conducted in 2013 revealed that 57% of inpatients had not had their feet checked on admission, 60% of those at risk did not have pressure relief in place and 2.4% developed a new foot lesion. In response, the Scottish Diabetes Foot Action Group launched the 'CPR for Feet' campaign.

Effects of HRT on liver enzyme levels in women with type 2 diabetes: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Increasingly strong links are being recognized between diabetes, insulin resistance and liver fat accumulation [e.g. nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)].

Metabolic, inflammatory and haemostatic effects of a low-dose continuous combined HRT in women with type 2 diabetes: potentially safer with respect to vascular risk?

Background: Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) containing conjugated equine oestrogen (CEE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) increases triglyceride, C-reactive protein (CRP) and coagulation Factor VII concentrations, potentially explaining their increased coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risk.

Objective: To assess the metabolic effects of a continuous combined HRT containing 1 mg oestradiol and 0.5 mg norethisterone or matching placebo.
