Background: A good adherence to pharmacological treatment in chronic pathologies such as type 2 diabetes and clinical depression is essential to improve illness prognosis.
Aims: The main goal of the TELE-DD study was to analyze the effectiveness of a telephone, psychoeducational, and individualized intervention carried out by nurses in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and comorbid clinical depression with prior nonadherence to pharmacological treatment. In this paper, we describe and analyze secondary outcomes of the trial intervention.

Aims: The main objective in this study was to determine the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the Autonomous Community (AC) of Aragon (Spain) and to detect whether or not there is under-registration in the patient's history. As a secundary objetive, it was proposed to study the most relevant demographic and clinical characteristics of people with CKD.
Methods: Observational and retrospective real world data study of the population over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of T2DM, between January 2017 and December 2021.

Unlabelled: Clinical depression is associated with poorer adherence to hypoglycaemic medication in patients with diabetes mellitus, leading to poorer glycaemic control, diabetes management, and increased complications. The main aim of the TELE-DD trial was to demonstrate the efficacy of a proactive and psychoeducational telephonic intervention based on motivational interviewing and collaborative care to reduce nonadherence and improve prognosis in individuals with diabetes mellitus and concurrent depression.
Design: The TELE-DD project is a three-phased prospective study including a nested randomised controlled trial.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic patients experience higher rates of depression, leading to poorer quality of life and increased mortality due to complications or comorbidity.
- The TELE-DD project in Zaragoza, Spain, studied 7,271 type-2 diabetes patients, finding a 1.9% comorbidity rate with clinical depression and a 35.4% nonadherence rate to treatment.
- Key findings indicated that treatment nonadherence was linked to factors like shorter diabetes duration and higher HbA1c and LDL-C levels, which will guide the creation of a telephonic monitoring system for improving adherence and further research.
Objective: To ascertain the number of diabetic foot units (DFUs) in Spain, the specialists working in them, and the population covered by them.
Material And Methods: The Spanish Group on the Diabetic Foot (SGDF) prepared and agreed a questionnaire based on the recommendations of the 2011 International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot (ICDF). From October to December 2012, the questionnaire was sent to members of three scientific societies formed by professionals involved in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus.
