Education is a critical component of diabetes treatment and is crucial to achieve self-management outcomes in the pediatric patient. The education plan for new onset diabetes in a hospital setting must be goal oriented, consistent, and structured. Balancing the education needs, psychosocial response to diagnosis, family social support, and developmental needs of the child is often difficult considering hospital resource utilization and shortened length of stay (Leyden, Caravalho, & Saylor, 2000). Through analysis of current literature and current diabetes education processes within the hospital, a standard was developed that supports patient and family education from the moment of admission. The staff nurse is now the primary patient and family educator; therefore, educational opportunities are no longer compromised by off-shifts, weekends, and holidays, potentially increasing the length of stay.

Background: Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that symbiotics might effectively manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by modulating the intestinal microbiota. However, these studies' limited sources, small sample sizes, and varied study designs have led to inconsistent outcomes regarding glycaemic control. This study aimed to investigate the effects of symbiotics on the anthropometric measures, glycaemic control, and lipid profiles of patients with T2DM.

Background: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in population and public health to support epidemiological studies, surveillance, and evaluation. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review to identify studies that use ML in population health, with a focus on its use in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We also examine potential algorithmic biases in model design, training, and implementation, as well as efforts to mitigate these biases.

Universidad de Sevilla, Sevilla, Spain.
Introduction: The transition of adolescents from pediatric to adult hospitals is a planned and guided process that involves changes in the focus, style, and location of care. During this period, complications are common in those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The objective of this study was to understand the influence of a nurse-led structured therapeutic education program on maintaining glycemic control and emotional wellbeing in these adolescents.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a blinding complication of microangiopathy. First-line therapeutic drugs are all focused on late-stage DR and have several side effects, which could not meet clinical needs. The plant-derived ginsenoside Ro (Ro) has a variety of effective anti-inflammatory, immune-regulating, and cardiovascular protective effects, but its microvascular protective effects are rarely studied.
