Prevalence and risk factors for impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia: A registry-based study of 10,202 adults with type 1 diabetes in Norway.

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) and examine risk factors for IAH in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: We conducted a population-based registry study of 10,202 adults (≥18 years) with type 1 diabetes using data from the Norwegian Diabetes Register for Adults. The registry used the 1-item Gold scale, measuring hypoglycaemia symptom awareness.

Women Suffered More Than Men Both During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic-A Cross-Sectional Study Among 29,079 Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective: To investigate the gender differences and the disparities between infected and noninfected patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) regarding patient-reported experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.

Method: Register study using questionnaires sent electronically to patients with T2D, June 2022. The questionnaire included 82 questions covering COVID-19 disease, symptoms, medications, comorbidities, hospital care, possibility of working from home and information received from health authorities.

A register-based study describing time trends in risk factor control and serious hypoglycaemia together with the effects of starting continuous glucose monitoring in people with type 1 diabetes in Norway.

Aims: To describe trends in risk factor control and serious hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes and to assess the effect of starting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in the real-world setting.

Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys including 5746 individuals in 2012 and 18,984 individuals in 2020 based on data recorded in the Norwegian Diabetes Register for Adults (NDR-A) and an analysis of a longitudinal cohort of 2057 individuals where data on CGM and HbA1c were available in the NDR-A in 2012 and 2020.

Results: In the cross-sectional surveys mean HbA1c decreased from 66 mmol/mol (99% CI 65, 66) (8.

Diabetes Distress and Associations With Demographic and Clinical Variables: A Nationwide Population-Based Registry Study of 10,186 Adults With Type 1 Diabetes in Norway.

Objective: To estimate diabetes distress prevalence and associations with demographic and clinical variables among adults with type 1 diabetes in Norway.

Research Design And Methods: In this nationwide population-based registry study, the 20-item Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID-20) questionnaire was sent to 16,255 adults with type 1 diabetes. Linear regression models examined associations of demographic and clinical variables with distress.

Use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical diabetes consultations: the DiaPROM randomised controlled pilot trial.

Objective: To pilot test the proposed DiaPROM trial components and address uncertainties associated with conducting a full-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate whether such a trial is feasible.

Design: Two-arm pilot RCT.

Participants: Adults aged ≥18-39 years, with minimum 1 year type 1 diabetes duration, attending outpatient follow-up.

Type 2 diabetes in general practice in Norway 2005-2014: moderate improvements in risk factor control but still major gaps in complication screening.

Objective: To assess the status of type 2 diabetes care in general practice and changes in the quality of care between 2005 and 2014, and to identify areas of diabetes care requiring improvement.

Research Design And Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were performed that included patients with type 2 diabetes in selected areas (n=9464 in 2014, n=5463 in 2005). Quality of care was assessed based on key recommendations in national guidelines.
