AI Article Synopsis

  • Structured therapeutic patient education plays a crucial role in enhancing health outcomes for individuals with type 1 diabetes, particularly in managing glycemic levels and emotional well-being.
  • The study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effect of this education on various health metrics, including glycated hemoglobin and emotional stress levels.
  • Results indicated significant improvements in glycemic control and some emotional aspects, suggesting further research is needed to optimize the intervention for diverse patient populations.

Article Abstract

Background/objectives: Structured therapeutic patient education is the key to improving biopsychosocial outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the effects of structured therapeutic education on glycemic control and emotional well-being in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: This is a systematic review with a meta-analysis (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023390079). Searches were performed in Scopus, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, APA PsycArticles, and the Psychology Database (June-August 2024). The eligibility criteria included randomized controlled trials published in English or Spanish within the past 10 years. Data extraction and risk of bias evaluations were independently conducted by two reviewers. The outcomes analyzed included glycated hemoglobin, time in range, emotional well-being, self-management behaviors, and adherence to treatment. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan with random and fixed effects models.

Results: Seventeen studies met the eligibility criteria. There was a significant improvement in glycemic control, stress, anxiety, and treatment satisfaction, although the results for the other emotional outcomes were mixed.

Conclusions: Structured therapeutic patient education improves glycemic control and selected emotional outcomes in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Further trials are needed to refine the characteristics of the intervention and broaden the applicability of the findings to diverse populations.

Approach to the Patient using Diabetes Technology in Pregnancy.

Diabetes in pregnancy increases risk for complications for the pregnant patient and neonate. Tight glycemic control to maintain glucose levels as close to non-diabetic ranges as possible can lower risk for these complications. Achieving strict glycemic targets can be challenging and technologies including continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pumps have the potential to improve diabetes control and pregnancy outcomes.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) provide valuable insights about glycemic control that aid in diabetes management. However, interpreting metrics and charts and synthesizing them into linguistic summaries is often non-trivial for patients and providers. The advent of large language models (LLMs) has enabled real-time text generation and summarization of medical data.

Background And Aim: Probiotics play an important role in the control and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Kefir drink is a fermented beverage and has indicated some beneficial health effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of kefir drink on liver aminotransferases, anthropometric indices, glycemic index, lipid profile, blood pressure (BP), high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and malondialdehyde in patients with NAFLD.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1-DM) and apical periodontitis (AP). The periapical and endodontic conditions of T1-DM individuals were compared with healthy people.

Methods: T1-DM subjects aged 18-45 with good glycemic control (HbA1c < 7) were included in this research.

Using a multistep machine-learning procedure, add virtual continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) traces to the original sparse data of the landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). Assess the association of CGM metrics with the microvascular complications of type 1 diabetes observed during the DCCT and establish time-in-range (TIR) as a viable marker of glycemic control. Utilizing the DCCT glycated hemoglobin data obtained every 1 or 3 months plus quarterly 7-point blood glucose (BG) profiles in a multistep procedure: (i) utilized archival BG traces to model interday BG variability and estimate glycated hemoglobin; (ii) trained across the DCCT BG profiles and associated each profile with an archival BG trace; and (iii) used previously identified CGM "motifs" to associate a CGM trace to a BG trace, for each DCCT participant.
