Developing and Evaluating SEE-Diabetes: A Patient-Centered Educational Decision Support System for Diabetes Care.

Objectives: This feasibility study evaluated the effectiveness of Support-Engage-Empower-Diabetes (SEE-Diabetes), a patient-centered educational tool designed to promote shared decision-making of diabetes management in older adults. We aimed to assess SEE-Diabetes's ability to facilitate patient engagement and collaborative goal setting, as measured by the Observational Patient Involvement (OPTION) scale and Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-Doc). We hypothesized that these instruments would effectively differentiate between healthcare providers who actively leveraged SEE-Diabetes to guide patient-centric conversations and set goals compared to those who did not.

SEE-diabetes, a patient-centered diabetes self-management education and support for older adults: Findings and information needs from providers' perspectives.

Background And Aims: Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) can improve clinical and health outcomes of people with diabetes. However, DSMES has been underutilized because of many barriers. We aimed to develop a patient-centered educational aid, SEE-Diabetes (Support-Engage-Empower-Diabetes), that facilitates shared decision-making about DSMES between patient and provider during the follow-up visit.

SEE-Diabetes, a patient-centered diabetes self-management education and support for older adults: Findings and information needs from patients' perspectives.

Aims: This study identified the information needs of people with diabetes aged 65 and older through surveys and focus groups to inform the development of a patient-centered educational decision aid for diabetes care, SEE-Diabetes (Support-Engage-Empower-Diabetes).

Methods: We conducted survey (N = 37) and three focus groups (N = 9). The survey collected demographics, diabetes duration, insulin usage, and clinic notes accessibility through a patient portal.

Analysis of Healthy Coping Feedback Messages from Diabetes Mobile Apps: Validation Against an Evidence-Based Framework.

Background: In this study, we focused on Healthy Coping, a key principle of ADCES7 Self-Care Behaviors (ADCES7) that enables people with diabetes to achieve health goals for self-care. We aimed to validate Healthy Coping-related feedback messages from diabetes mobile apps against the framework based on behavioral change theories.

Methods: We searched apps using the search terms: "diabetes," "blood sugar," "glucose," and "mood" from iTunes and Google Play stores.

Transforming AADE7 for Use in an Evaluation Framework for Health Information Technology in Diabetes Mellitus.

There is no validated framework to evaluate health information technology (HIT) for diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES). AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors is a patient-centered DSMES designed by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). We developed a codebook based on the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors principles as an evaluation framework.

The Association between Serum Uric Acid and Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Multicenter Nationwide CrossSectional Study.

Background: The role of uric acid in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the association between uric acid and peripheral neuropathy among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Methods: We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study based on the diabetes and hypertension study of the Medical Research Network of the Consortium of Thai Medical Schools.

Prevalence of dyslipidemia associated with complications in diabetic patients: a nationwide study in Thailand.

Background: Dyslipidemia is an important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is diagnosed by the presence of an abnormal lipid profile, primarily with elevated levels of plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, or both, or reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, some studies have reported increased risk of ischemic stroke with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and increased risk of cardiovascular mortality independent of LDL-C levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Incidence and Associated Factors of Type 2 Diabetes: A Community-Based Cohort Study in the Central Region of Rural Community in Thailand.

The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and associated risk factors among adults in a rural community of Thailand. A prospective cohort study was conducted in a rural community of Thailand. Among 1358 nondiabetics ≥18 years, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was measured at baseline in 2008 to 2010 and at follow-up evaluation in 2015.
