▼ Efficiently identifying individuals at high risk of diabetes is a priority for examining implementation methods to increase access, reach, and scalability of diabetes prevention programs (DPPs). The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of point of care (POC) device to identify participants with prediabetes for inclusion in an RCT designed to test the impact a digital DPP platform on body weight and HbA1c. Initially, participants were screened for evidence of impaired glucose metabolism via POC device. However, preliminary analyses discovered lack of correspondence between POC and lab assay methods to assess HbA1c leading to changes in the screening protocol. Analyses revealed that 116 randomized participants had a lab assay HbA1c outside of the eligibility criterion. Additionally, the sample obtained via POC screening (pre-amendment) had significantly lower mean HbA1c as compared to the sample screened using lab assay (post-amendment). The post-amendment sample was significantly older, but had lower blood pressure and body weight than the pre-amendment sample. Rate of recruitment was not affected by the change in screening protocol. The results of the present study indicate that use of POC to identify a prediabetic sample may be problematic; however, future research with higher quality POC device is warranted.

▼ Elderly Hispanic individuals with prediabetes are at high risk for developing type 2
diabetes. The
Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) clinical efficacy trial demonstrated that weight loss can prevent or slow the progression of type 2
diabetes in high-risk populations regardless of ethnicity, age, or gender. Currently, no DPP translation studies have targeted elderly Hispanic populations to determine the feasibility of a community based DPP intervention. Therefore, it is unknown whether the implementation of a group-based DPP adapted lifestyle intervention in an elderly Hispanic population would decrease risk factors associated with type 2
diabetes. We investigated whether a culturally sensitive
diabetes prevention and management intervention derived from the Social Cognitive Theory resulted in changes in body weight, percent body fat, fasting capillary blood glucose, and self-reported physical activity in elderly Hispanics who were either overweight, prediabetic or type 2 diabetic. We hypothesized that weight loss would improve fasting blood glucose levels over time. A total of 15 participants attended an 8-week (1x week) and 4-week non-intervention weight loss intervention adapted from the
diabetes prevention program (DPP) curriculum. The outcome variables were measured at week 0 (baseline), 4, 8, and 12 weeks and re-measured at 16weeks after a 4-week non-intervention period. There were significant reductions in weight (p<.002) and BMI (p<.001) at 12-weeks compared with baseline. Percent body fat did not decrease significantly compared with baseline. Capillary fasting blood glucose levels were not assessed due to lack of data. This study demonstrated that a short-term culturally sensitive
diabetes intervention derived from SCT can help elderly Hispanics achieve modest weight loss. Longer interventions are needed to achieve clinically significant weight loss of 5% and to sustain participant motivation. Due to physical limitations, some elderly individuals may not be able to achieve moderate intensity physical activity levels recommended for clinically significant weight loss.

▼ Background: Primary care is seeing a rapid rise in
diabetes cases which could potentially be prevented through
lifestyle interventions. Some clinical trials indicate that
diabetes risks can be cut by as much as 60% through lifestyle
interventions; however very little is known about the
practicalities of providing such services in primary care. Aims: to
explore how
diabetes prevention is conceptualised by patients and
health practitioners within a primary care setting, as well as to
understand the factors associated with
diabetes prevention delivery
by practitioners and uptake by patients. Methods: A narrative
synthesis systematic review, including qualitative and quantitative
evidence was completed, in addition to primary research. Four
medical centres serving mixed urban city populations in the UK,
recruited 32 ‘at risk’ patients for routine appointment
observations. Follow-up interviews with 30 patients and 20
professions (13 nurses, 2 health care assistants, 5 GPs) were
completed. Thematic analysis, drawing on techniques of grounded
theory, uncovered three major themes within the data. Results: The
review examined 18 papers and found mixed evidence on the
importance of
diabetes prevention in primary care, but it pointed
to the importance of understanding
diabetes risks factors. Patient
and professional factors impacting on
prevention include patient
knowledge, motivation, use/trust of healthcare, and professional
factors include workload, resources, knowledge, and perceptions of
patient motivation. The empirical study uncovered three major
themes: The first theme focused on how patients made sense of
diabetes and revealed that conceptualisations of
diabetes risk was
an important factor in
prevention as it influenced experiences and
interpretations of risk, as well as any preventative actions. This
study provided novel insights into ways patients used knowledge
sources such as co-constructed knowledge from health professionals,
as well as family, and friends to make sense of
diabetes risks,
which in turn informed their views of candidacy and behaviour
modifications. Claims to candidacy were mainly based on family
history and lifestyle factors; however, a few patients were deemed
‘unlikely candidates’ in the absence of these factors. Within
the second theme, patient factors affecting
diabetes prevention,
participants placed a high value on preventative services in
primary care and this allowed for a preventative focus in
consultations which focused on achievable lifestyle changes.
However, there were several obstacles that impacted on lifestyle
modification such as physical limitations and difficulties with
engaging in change. Despite obstacles, many patients had a fear of
developing
diabetes and desire to stay healthy for the future,
which acted as a motivator in tackling their potential ‘
diabetes
in waiting’/risks. Finally, the third theme, professional views
of
prevention, professionals (mainly nurses and healthcare
assistants rather than GPs) assumed the responsibility for
preventative services…

▼ The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the effectiveness of
diabetes prevention programs. The researcher conducted interview-based research of eight professionals in the field to ask their opinions about their type 2
diabetes prevention programs and the success and failures associated with them. The participants are professionals who are involved with the design, administration, and/or the delivery of a type 2
diabetes prevention programs in a healthcare setting, a community-based setting, or a school-based setting. Common themes were analyzed after the interviews were transcribed and coded. Results of this study support other research relating to the success of community-based type 2
diabetes prevention programs and confirms the success of healthcare based and school-based programs in their own right. Information obtained from this study may serve as a validation that community-based organizations have higher efficacy and are better suited to disseminate a type 2
diabetes prevention programs on a large national scale.

▼ Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive disease characterised by hyperglycaemia caused by defects in insulin secretion and insulin action. In early stages of type 2 DM, dietary and lifestyle changes are often sufficient to control blood glucose levels. However, over time, many patients experience β cell dysfunction and require insulin therapy, either alone or in combination with oral agents. There are guidelines available to structure the management of this disease state, including both the use of oral hypoglycaemic agents and or insulin. Besides health complications, there are economic burdens associated with the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to determine the management of type 2 DM in a South African sample group of patients drawn from a large medical aid database. The objectives of the study were: to establish the prevalence of type 2 DM relative to age, examine the nature of chronic comorbid disease states, establish trends in the prescribing of insulin relative to other oral hypoglycaemic agents, investigate cost implications, and determine trends in the use of blood and urine monitoring materials by patients. The study was quantitative and retrospective and descriptive statistics were used in the analysis. DM was found to be most prevalent amongst patients between 50 and 59 years old. Results also demonstrated that 83% of DM patients also suffered from other chronic comorbid diseases, with cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia being the most prominent. This study also revealed that DM is predominantly managed with oral hypoglycaemic agents. Changes in drug prescribing, for chronic disease states such as DM may have medical, social and economic implications both for individual patients and for society and it is envisaged that the results of this study can be used to influence future management of DM.

▼ This study employed a non-random, quasi-experimental design to assess the impact of a
diabetes prevention and health promotion program on the health behavior of older African American adults in a church setting. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) (Bandura, 1986, 1977) and Socio-ecological (McLeroy et al., 1988) and PRECEDE- PROCEEDE Planning (Green & Kreuter, 1999) models were utilized as guiding frameworks. A modified curriculum from the Lifestyle Balance: Healthy Eating and Being Active
Diabetes Prevention program was used. Significant decreases were found in fasting blood sugar over the eight-week period for both program participants and the comparison group. However, there was not an increase in
diabetes knowledge, daily moderate-vigorous exercise levels or self-efficacy for physical activity for individuals who participated in the program from Time 1 to Time 2. The findings are discussed relative to their contributions to health-related research and interventions with African Americans and the role of African-American churches as a conduit for health messages and behavior change.

▼ Diabetes is a chronic health condition affecting millions of adults in the United States and contributing to an increased economic burden caring for these individuals. The high prevalence, incidence, morbidity, and healthcare costs underscore
diabetes as a chronic health issue requiring effective intervention (American
Diabetes Association [ADA], 2017). The primary objective and purpose of this evidenced-based practice project was to improve prediabetes screening by implementing an evidence-based screening process for prediabetes with primary care providers (PCP) and medical staff to facilitate use of appropriate screening. The appropriate screening criterion consisted of the ADA (2016c) guidelines. This project centered on educating PCPs and their clinical personnel during an in-person educational module session for 20 minutes after the administration of a pretest about prediabetes and
diabetes to the PCP and medical staff of one primary care clinic. Four weeks after the education module, the healthcare provider and medical staff completed the posttest and an education module satisfaction survey. The clinical
diabetes screening knowledge test (CDSKT) questionnaire scores before and after the prediabetes educational training module yielded significantly positive score differences from pretest to posttest. After the education session, the six CDSKT posttest scores were much improved and more tightly distributed, which suggested the medical staff’s prediabetes knowledge increased following the prediabetes educational training session. Prior to providing the education module, a baseline chart review of 40 randomly selected medical files was conducted to determine the current use and outcomes of prediabetes screenings by the healthcare provider and medical staff. Four weeks after providing the education module and administering the posttest, a second set of 40 randomly selected medical files was acquired for the final chart review. There were 37 charts identified as at risk for prediabetes in the pretest medical file group and 34 charts identified as at risk for prediabetes in the post-intervention medical file group with five (7%) of the posttest charts identified as not at risk for prediabetes. These findings resulted in a combined total of 93% of all charts (i.e., 71 out of 76) at both pretest and posttest showing individuals at risk for prediabetes. This observation supported the necessity for prediabetes screenings in the clinical setting. Initiation of prediabetes management was completed at pretest in 37 (100%) charts; however, only 33 (85%) charts at posttest contained evidence of the initiation of prediabetes management. Although these findings showed prediabetes management was initiated in a significant number of charts, it cannot be determined whether this was a direct result of the prediabetes training module session or standard practices at this facility. The outcomes identified by this project indicated that a better understanding of prediabetes can potentially aid in the early identification of at-risk…

▼ This study was developed to investigate the effects of California's Medicaid on preventing and treating
diabetes among the Latinx community in the United States.
Diabetes is a major health issue that keeps growing and needs immediate attention from the health system in the United States.
The social and health inequalities that affect our Latinx community are the access to quality health care, economic, social and political contributors, and immigration enforcement. This literature review offers information about the effects of Medical and Medicaid policies for the Hispanic population in California, diversity among the Hispanic communities,
diabetes prevention programs focused on children and adolescents and the policy gaps with opportunities for future research actions. In addition, a review of national statistics and literature on causes of health disparities, health services, and risk factors was conducted.
Although the implementation of the Affordable Care Act initiated improvement in health care access for the Hispanic community, many challenges still remain. The majority of states in the U.S. have chosen not to extend their Medicaid programs that offer preventive methods for several diseases including
diabetes. A reference was included if it investigated the prevalence of
diabetes in the Hispanic community as well as preventive methods available for those with or without health insurance. Latinx patients will most likely follow up on their
diabetes treatment if they received services in their native language. Although there are many services offered in Spanish in certain areas of California, people fear to reach out for health assistance due to their illegal status. Health illiteracy, shortage of Hispanic health providers and limited cultural sensitivity are some of the burdens faced in our health care system.
While the Hispanic population has historically struggled to obtain access to
diabetes preventive and treatment programs, it has been proven that with the correct guidance, this population can effectively conduct their
diabetes management using in-person and online platforms.
The study also investigates the policies implemented in long-term care facilities and hospitals for the elderly and
diabetes patients in general. Particularly long-term care facilities face many challenges managing
diabetes programs with their patients.
Findings show that Medical patients are able to overcome this illness as long as they can be covered with health insurance, access preventive services, understand lifestyle change programs, understand
diabetes treatment programs, and can comfortably communicate with their health providers.

▼ The objectives of this research were to determine the impact of 4 different bedtime snack compositions on prevention of nocturnal hypoglycemia and to determine whether optimized titration and delivery of bedtime insulin using multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) could prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia in the absence of bedtime snacks. We also sought to determine whether 3 months of CSII therapy would improve catecholamine response and symptom awareness to experimentally-induced hypoglycemia. The need for and the most appropriate composition of bedtime snacks were dependent on the glycemic level at bedtime. No bedtime snacks were necessary at bedtime glycemic levels > 10 mmol/L. At bedtime glycemic levels between 7-10 mmol/L , a standard snack and cornstarch-containing snack worked best and at bedtime glycemic levels < 7mmol/L, a standard and protein-rich snack were most effective. Despite optimized titration and delivery of bedtime insulin, including the use of CSII, "the gold standard" of nocturnal insulin replacement, the incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia over 181 nights was 54 episodes per 100 patientnights. However, there was a substantial reduction, by 36% (p=0.17), in the incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia with the use of bedtime snacks. Therefore bedtime snacks, tailored to the bedtime glycemic level, are recommended for ail adults undergoing intensive management with MDI or CSII. Although, 3 months of CSII therapy did not improve catecholamine response and symptom awareness to experimentally-induced hypoglycemia, it did not deteriorate the responses either. Therefore, CSII therapy is a viable option in intensive management of adults with type 1 diabetes.

▼ In modern society, obesity-related metabolic diseases have become a serious public health concern globally. The increasing prevalence, disease progression, diverse complications and subsequent morbidity and mortality impose great medical challenges and socioeconomic burden. Type 2
diabetes (T2D) and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) are the two representative metabolic diseases. Current anti-diabetic medications only ameliorate diabetic symptoms but not effective in correcting the underlying causes of insulin resistance. Patients have to keep the medications for the rest of their lifetime. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an active form of NAFLD with no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy. Patients with NASH have higher risk of developing end-stage liver diseases including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and await liver transplantation to save life. The significant unmet medical needs of T2D and NAFLD call for therapeutics with novel working mechanisms. Excessive lipid accumulation is attributed to the underlying cause of multiple metabolic diseases, in particular T2D and NAFLD. At the same time, abnormal lipid deposition, particularly hepatic lipid accumulation, plays a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of some liver-based genetic disease such as lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D), a genetic disease with profound lipid accumulation in liver.
The objective of my PhD research work is to identify novel nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals that target lipid accumulation for treatment of T2D, NASH and LAL-D. My strategy is to target cellular metabolism to reduce intracellular lipid load. Depletion of fat accumulation corrected the causal factors of T2D and NASH as well as reduced the driving force of LAL-D disease progression. Our work on nutraceuticals focused on a group of 5-OH PMFs which presented promising therapeutic potential for the treatment of T2D and NAFL by targeting lipogenesis of adipogenesis. Our work on pharmaceuticals focused on a group of mitochondrial uncouplers which demonstrated strong therapeutic potential for the treatment of T2D, NASH and LAL-D by targeting hepatic lipid accumulation.
The first part of the work on nutraceuticals focused on the application of aged citrus peel (chenpi) extract as a novel nutraceutical for preventing obesity and T2D. Chenpi has long been used as an herbal medication and dietary supplement with excellent safety profile. Moreover, chenpi extract is uniquely enriched with 5-OH polymethoxyflavones (5-OH PMFs) compared to the fresh citrus peel extract. The chemical profile of chenpi extracts were quantitatively characterized. The therapeutic potential and underlying molecular mechanism of chenpi extract were systematically examined in relevant in vitro and in vivo models. The results demonstrated that 5-OH PMFs-enriched chenpi extract is effective to prevent high-fat diet induced obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and fatty liver in mice. And the beneficial effects of chenpi extract is attributed to the…

▼ African Americans are disproportionately represented in the United States’ Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) statistics. This disparity has long been investigated, but no marked improvement has been made. This study examines knowledge gaps, perceptions of risk and conditions contributing to the persistence of this disparity, utilizing a mixed-methods approach.
This study examines T2DM knowledge and perceptions of risk in middle-class, African Americans living in New Orleans, Louisiana. Specifically, this study: 1) examines the T2DM
prevention literature; 2) assesses knowledge levels, and perceptions of severity and susceptibility to T2DM in non-diabetic, or asymptomatic, middle-class African Americans; 3) explores the role of built environments on health behaviors; and 4) examines attitudes and feelings of self-efficacy in relation to preventative health strategies that may deter the development of T2MD.
This study found that the majority of the T2DM literature focused on the treatment of T2DM complications (n=177), not
prevention of the disease (n=101). Study designs for T2DM
prevention varied widely, from pilot and feasibility studies (n=9) to randomized control trials (n=10); the largest study type, however, was observational (n=19). None of the studies reviewed focused on middle-class African Americans. Income levels or socioeconomic status were largely unspecified (n=62).
The study did not find a correlation between participants’ perceptions of risk and actual risk, based on the ADA’s risk assessment (p =.110). There was a statistically significant, negative correlation (p = -.748) found between ADA risk totals and age, with significance set at the 0.01 level. There was also a statistically significant, negative correlation (p = -.214) found between T2DM risks and participant education levels, with significance set at the .05 level.
At large, participants expressed a perceived severity of T2DM. Participants noted, however, that the condition has become somewhat normalized in the African American community. Respondents generally felt sufficiently informed about the condition, which contributed to feelings of high self-efficacy and low levels of concern for developing T2DM. There were knowledge gaps and misinformation that provide grounds for re-evaluating those feelings, however.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a form of diabetes with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. GDM has been associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and longer term health consequences for both mother and offspring, including an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. With evidence suggesting rates of GDM are increasing in Australia, there is a need to optimise dietary interventions and strategies for future diabetes risk reduction, in order to ensure the best possible pregnancy outcomes and address the growing public health problem of type 2 diabetes. The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate current Australian dietetic practice in the management of GDM; describe the postnatal health and lifestyle patterns of women with recent GDM and identify factors that influence preventive health behaviours for future type 2 diabetes risk reduction. Three research studies were undertaken to meet the aims of this body of research. A survey of Australian dietitians (n=220) currently working in GDM management was undertaken to examine Australian dietetic practice in the management of GDM, identify current models of dietetic care and determine the need for national evidence based GDM guidelines. The study showed consistency in key components of nutrition education; however there were a number of differences in the implementation of medical nutrition therapy by Australian dietitians in regards to nutrient recommendations. Overall, the survey results strongly indicate a need for evidence-based gestational diabetes practice guidelines and nutritional recommendations and provided baseline data for future practice of Australian dietitians working in GDM. Postnatal health and lifestyle behaviours in women with GDM were investigated in a cross sectional survey of women with diagnosed with GDM in the previous three years and registered with the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) (n=1372). This study highlighted low rates (27.4%) of return for follow-up diabetes screening compared to current recommendations, and found that receiving specialised diabetes care, risk reduction advice and postnatal reminders were associated with an increased likelihood of returning for follow-up. Women with recent GDM also failed to achieve diet patterns in line with current national dietary recommendations, as evidenced by overall poor diet quality measured using the Australian Recommended Food Score (mean ±SD ARFS 30.9±8.1). Although women with known risk factors for type 2 diabetes were more likely to perceive that they were high risk for diabetes up to three years after a GDM pregnancy, one third still considered themselves to be at low or very low risk for the development of diabetes. In qualitative analysis of women’s experiences of living with GDM in this study, the importance of health professional support was highlighted and some of the challenges and opportunities for future diabetes risk reduction identified. Breastfeeding was examined as part of a mixed…

▼ The growing pandemic of
diabetes mellitus (DM) is continuing to spread around the world with developing countries being most vulnerable.
Diabetes mellitus is the direct cause of 5 percent of deaths worldwide at present, with an expected increase of 50percent in the next 10 years.
Diabetes mellitus was virtually unknown in Africa at the start of the 20th century but the incidence is expected to increase by 80 percent by 2025. South African estimates indicate that at present there are up to four million people living with DM in South Africa, with an expected rise of 25 percent by 2020. If DM is not adequately controlled, life-threatening complications ensue, resulting in financial, physical and emotional costs both for people living with the condition and for their families. There is also a great financial burden on the state, both directly due to the cost of providing health care and indirectly due to loss of productivity and a reduced tax base. Global initiatives against DM include the
Diabetes Strategy for Africa compiled by the International
Diabetes Federation and World Health Organization. There are several forms of DM with Type 2 being the most common with an estimated 95% of cases. Optimal glycaemic control is essential for the management of DM, potentially allowing the course of the disease to be slowed or halted. The previous medical model of management of chronic disease has changed to an empowerment approach where the person living with the condition is a partner in the management process. This is particularly true of DM where all aspects of life are affected by the condition. During Phase One of this study, a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, contextual approach was utilized to explore and describe the experiences of persons living with DM and of
diabetes nurse educators who assist them in Nelson Mandela Bay. During Phase Two, a conceptual framework was created and utilized to develop strategies which professional nurses may use in facilitating self-management by persons living with DM. Persons living with DM experience a definite initial experience on diagnosis of DM but gradually gain an acceptance and acknowledgment of their condition. They have definite views on the concept of self-management and experience both positive and negative factors influencing self-management. They also have definite ideas on how professional nurses may assist them in achieving self-management. These findings were confirmed ii by the experiences of the
diabetes nurse educators who formed the second group of participants in this study. The ACE approach to self-management of DM consists of an Action Strategy, a Coordination Strategy and an Education Strategy. The ACE approach makes use of grand and functional strategies implemented on the macro (national), meso (provincial) and micro (local) levels to enable the professional nurse to assist persons living with DM to achieve self-management of their condition. Grand strategies need to be implemented on a macro or meso level to enable the professional nurse to function…

▼ For the last forty years, the federal government and tribal governments have developed and administered programs to lower the obesity and
diabetes rates among American Indian populations. Despite these joint efforts, a
diabetes epidemic continues to ravage Indian country with rates ranging from 16% to 40% to 70%, depending upon the community, while rates for non-Indians are approximately 8%. This thesis argues that one of the reasons that existing programs have failed to lower
diabetes rates is due to their failure to address an unresolved grief labeled historical trauma and socio-political factors that may be even more fundamental to
diabetes causation among American Indians. Poverty, suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, microaggressions, violence and traumatic events, exacerbated by historical trauma, contribute to a heightened level of stress among American Indians that is unparalleled. Given that research has linked stress and trauma to the onset of
diabetes, exposure to these risk factors for American Indians is an overlooked factor. Health behaviors and trajectories set for a lifetime during adolescence make this an extremely vulnerable period of life for American Indians. The thesis suggests American Indian
diabetes prevention programs that target adolescents, explore the impact of colonization and continued oppression of American Indian people on the deterioration of their health, and continue to promote the benefits of healthy diets and exercise may help to slow the prevalence of obesity and
diabetes in these communities.

ABSTRACTTYPE I DIABETIC OSTEOPOROSIS AND OSTEOBLAST APOPTOSIS ByLindsay Martin CoeType I diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects roughly 1 million people in the United States. Medical advances are lengthening patient lifespan resulting in longer exposure to hyperglycemia causing secondary complications including bone loss. Bone formation and density are decreased in T1-diabetic mice. During diabetes onset, levels of blood glucose and pro-inflammatory cytokines (including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)) are increased. I hypothesized that early diabetes onset can promote osteoblast death resulting in diabetic bone loss. Indeed, examination of type I diabetic mouse bones demonstrates a greater than 2-fold increase in osteoblast TUNEL staining and increased expression of pro-apoptotic factors. Osteoblast death was amplified in both pharmacologic and spontaneous diabetic mouse models. Co-culture studies demonstrate that diabetic bone marrow cells increase osteoblast caspase 3 activity and Bax:Bcl-2 RNA ratio. Administration of TNF-neutralizing antibody prevented diabetic marrow-induced osteoblast death. Several apoptotic mechanisms could account for this increase in osteoblast death. Two known mediators of osteoblast death, TNFalpha and ROS, are increased in T1-diabetic bone. TNFalpha; and oxidative stress are known to activate caspase-2, a factor involved in the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. This dissertation determines that caspase-2 is not required for diabetes-induced osteoblast death or bone loss indicating another apoptotic factor is sufficient. Bax, a pro-apoptotic factor that mediates the intrinsic death pathway is also elevated in T1-diabetic bone. Deficiency of Bax results in protection against diabetes-induced osteoblast death and decreased bone density. Targeting osteoblast apoptosis is a possible therapeutic strategy for preventing diabetes-induced osteoporosis. One commonly used treatment against osteoporosis is bisphosphonates. Here I demonstrate that bisphosphonate therapy prevents diabetes-induced osteoblast death and bone loss. Furthermore, diabetes induced bone marrow inflammation can also contribute to osteoblast death and is another potential therapeutic target for inhibiting osteoporosis. Administration of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, aspirin, resulted in enhanced bone formation markers and decreased diabetic hyperglycemia, but did not protect against diabetic bone loss. This dissertation focuses on the relevance of osteoblast apoptosis and bone marrow inflammation as two potential mediators of diabetes-induced bone loss and addresses two commonly used therapies as preventive treatments for T1-diabetes-induced osteoporosis.

▼ This thesis aims to inform strategies to improve care for mothers after a pregnancy affected by gestational diabetes (GD) in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) after delivery. Through a systematic review (including 129 studies of 310,214 women with GD, Study 1) and study-level meta-regression, I highlighted that a third of women developed T2D within 15 years of GD a pregnancy. Progression was higher in non-White European populations compared to other populations, and in those with higher BMI at follow-up. These findings emphasised the need for both sustained follow-up after GD through screening, and interventions to reduce modifiable risk factors. Currently, screening for T2D is recommended at six to 13 weeks after a GD pregnancy, then subsequently at regular intervals. Consistent with other studies, I identified that 25.4% patients (n=556) did not undergo a postpartum test at a local hospital between 2014 and 2017 (Study 2). It is also known that many mothers find it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle after a GD pregnancy, and do not make changes to their diet or activity levels to reduce their risk. To explore reasons for this, I conducted two qualitative systematic reviews and developed 30 recommendations to promote screening attendance, healthy diet and physical activity based on the findings (Studies 3 and 4). I then elicited an evaluation of these recommendations from 20 mothers with previous GD (Study 5), in addition to their own ideas for improving postpartum support. Lifestyle advice amid a busy schedule and tips for sustaining changes, along with flexibility in screening appointments and invitations, were welcomed. I have highlighted that women with GD are an easily-identifiable group at high risk of T2D, and there is a need for interventions to manage this risk. I have provided evidence to support and inform such interventions during pregnancy and postpartum, which could include feasible adaptation to current practice, to improve care.

▼ This thesis is an evaluation of the effectiveness of a community-wide diabetes prevention program conducted in three Divisions of General Practice in Sydney, Australia. The aims were to assess whether translation of diabetes prevention programs was feasible in real-life settings and whether results achieved were comparable with those of randomised trials on which this intervention was based. Its primary goals were to assess whether the lifestyle intervention could increase participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity to 210 minutes per week, reduce total fat and saturated fat consumption to 30% and 10% of total daily energy intake, increase fibre consumption to 15 g/1,000 kcal/day, and lead to 5% weight loss over one year. The background section covers the physiopathology of type 2 diabetes, its risk factors, and the available population screening tools to identify people at risk. The growing morbidity and mortality burden, the economic implications of this public health problem, and the importance and feasibility of preventing or delaying the onset by intervening in the precursor stages are then summarised. Evidence for preventability is examined through a literature review of lifestyle interventions in research settings comprising highly structured and closely monitored physical activity and dietary programs under controlled conditions. Examples of the effectiveness of translation of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) into less stringent programs in community settings such as workplaces, churches, indigenous communities and whole-of-country initiatives are presented. A systematic review and meta-analysis of effectiveness of the lifestyle approaches in routine clinical practice supplements the evidence for application of prevention principles in real-life settings. The main chapters of the thesis centre on process and impact evaluation of the semi-structured Sydney-based intervention, which recruited 1,250 participants from the mainstream Australian 29 public using general practitioner services in the study area, who were followed for 12 months. The intervention’s goals aligned with those of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Program but with less stringent entry criteria and less intensive intervention components delivered by purpose-trained lifestyle officers. The Program included an initial individual assessment and coaching session, three subsequent group sessions in the following three months, then three follow-up coaching calls at three, six and nine months. A final assessment at one year, using the same objective and self-reported measures as in the initial assessment, captured changes in body weight, physical activity and dietary habits. The process evaluation showed that it is feasible and effective to use targeted screening to identify and recruit high-risk individuals into a free-of-charge program in the general practice setting, however a quarter of participants were lost to follow-up by one year. While minor variations in aspects of the Program were required to meet local need, Program fidelity…

▼ Bakgrund: Diabetiska fotsår, ”Diabetes foot ulcer” (DFU) är ett globalt hot mot personer med diabetes på grund av de komplikationer som kan uppkomma som en efterföljd av diabetes. Neuropati är en vanlig följdsjukdom till diabetes vilket medför risken för DFU. Neuropati orsakar nedsatt känsel i underben och fötter vilket kan medföra att patienten inte känner föremål i skorna som skaver och trycker mot fötterna som kan orsaka DFU. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors preventionsstrategier för att reducera utvecklingen av fotsår hos patienter med diabetes. Metod: Denna studie genomfördes som en beskrivande litteraturstudie baserat på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar som bestod av fyra kvalitativa och åtta kvantitativa artiklar. Huvudresultat: Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskor är i behov av ökad kunskap genom sårvårdsutbildning efter kandidatexamen. Det framkommer att sjuksköterskornas kunskaper har en stor roll i behandlingen av DFU varav patienternas egenvårdsförmåga lyfts fram för att tillsammans finna de rätta strategierna för varje patient i sin DFU behandling. Slutsats: Fördjupad kunskap inom preventionsstrategier att reducera utvecklingen av DFU hos patienter med diabetes skulle kunna komma både patienter, sjuksköterskor och svensk hälso- och sjukvård till nytta. Kunskapen om preventionsstrategier hos sjuksköterskor i arbetet av DFU varierade inom hälso-ochsjukvårdsverksamheter världen över. Det finns flera strategier att arbeta vidare med som sjuksköterska i förebyggandet av DFU. Två viktiga aspekter inom preventionsstrategier är ökad utbildning för grundutbildade sjuksköterskor inom sårvård av DFU.Patientutbildning inom egenvård i förebyggande av komplikationer av DFU är en viktigstrategi i sjuksköterskans yrkesroll för att kunna bidra med goda förutsättningar och hälsofrämjande vård.
Abstract Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a global threat to people with diabetes due tothe complications that can arise as a result of diabetes. Neuropathy is a common secondary result of diabetes which carries the risk of DFU. Neuropathy causes decreased sensation in the lower legs and feet which can cause the patient not to feel objects in the shoes rubbing and pressing against the feet which can cause DFU. Aim:The purpose of the literature study was to describe nurses' prevention strategies for reducing the development of foot ulcers in patients with diabetes. Method: This study was conducted as a descriptive literature study based on 12 scientific articles consisting of four qualitative and eight quantitative articles. Main results: The results showed that nurses are in need of increased knowledge through wound care training after thebachelor's degree. It appears that the nurses 'knowledge has a major role in the treatmentof DFU, of which the patients' self-care ability is highlighted in order to jointly find theright strategies for each patient in their DFU treatment. Conclusion: Advanced knowledge of prevention strategies to reduce the development of DFU in patients with…

▼ Women with a history of
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at an increased
risk of developing type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Nutritional guidelines for the prevention of T2DM
recommend a reduction of 7% of body weight if overweight,
reduction in the intake of fat and an increase in the
intake of dietary fibre. Current research indicates
overweight and obesity and consumption of excessive
dietary fat, are prevalent problems amongst women with
prior GDM. Thus, there is a need to develop interventions
targeted towards lifestyle change in these women. This
thesis is a secondary analysis of dietary data from a
pilot behavioural lifestyle intervention in women with
prior GDM: the Healthy Living Program after Gestational
Diabetes Mellitus (HeLP GDM) study. The following two
central hypotheses were tested: 1.
dietary change was achieved in the HeLP GDM
study 2. the associated dietary
intakes collected from two dietary assessment methods
provided relatively comparable estimates of macronutrient
intake. Methods: In the HeLP GDM study
59 overweight or obese women with prior GDM were
randomised to either a six month telephone diet and
physical activity behavioural change intervention group
or a no treatment control group. For this thesis changes
in intake of energy, fat and fibre from baseline to six
months were analysed using nutrient estimates obtained
from three day estimated food records and seven day
telephone diet histories. Additionally change in body
weight from baseline to six months was assessed using
selfreported weight. To assess relative validity baseline
diet history and food record paired data were compared
for group differences. Change in bias from baseline to
six months was assessed using paired t tests with
individual precision and presence of systematic error
determined by Bland Altman scatterplots.
Results: At six months diet history analysis
demonstrated the intervention group compared to the
control group reduced energy by -1251 kJ (95%CI -2169,
-332), total fat by -16.8 g (95% CI -28.5, -5.0) and
saturated fat by -7.2 g (95% CI -12.2, -2.1). Analysis of
food record data demonstrated only a relative reduction
in saturated fat of -4.7 g (95% CI -9.0, -0.4) in the
intervention group. The reduction in energy by -849 kJ
(95% CI -1774, 76) and total fat by - 11.5 kJ (95% CI
-23.2, 0.2) approached but failed to achieve statistical
significance. Intervention participants were more likely
than control participants to consume an intake of total
fat less than ≤30 of total energy [9.2 greater odds (95%

▼ Background: The prevalence of both obesity and type 2
diabetes in the United States has increased over the past two decades nd rates remain high. The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics estimates that 36% of adults and 17% of children and adolescents in the US are obese (CDC Adult Obesity, CDC Childhood Obesity). Being overweight or obese greatly increases one's risk of developing several chronic diseases, such as type 2
diabetes. Approximately 8% of adults in the US have
diabetes, type 2
diabetes accounts for 90-95% of these cases. Type 2
diabetes in children and adolescents is still rare, however clinical reports suggest an increase in the frequency of diagnosis (CDC
Diabetes Fact Sheet, 2011). Results from the
Diabetes Prevention Program show that the incidence of type 2
diabetes can be reduced through the adoption of a healthier lifestyle among high-risk individuals (DPP, 2002). Objectives: This classroom-based intervention included scientific coverage of energy balance,
diabetes,
diabetes prevention strategies, and
diabetes management. Coverage of
diabetes management topics were included in lesson content to further the students' understanding of the disease. Measurable short-term goals of the intervention included increases in: general
diabetes knowledge,
diabetes management knowledge, and awareness of type 2
diabetes prevention strategies. Methods: A total of 66 sixth grade students at Tavelli Elementary School in Fort Collins, CO completed the intervention. The program consisted of nine classroom-based lessons; students participated in one lesson every two weeks. The lessons were delivered from November of 2005 to May of 2006. Each bi-weekly lesson included a presentation and interactive group activities. Participants completed two
diabetes knowledge questionnaires at baseline and post intervention. A
diabetes survey developed by Program ENERGY measured general
diabetes knowledge and awareness of type 2
diabetes prevention strategies. The second questionnaire, adapted from a survey developed for the Starr County
Diabetes Education Study (Garcia et al, 2001), measured general
diabetes and
diabetes management knowledge. A comparison group, a total of 19 students, also completed both surveys during the study period. Results: Significant increases (p<0.05) were seen in the post-intervention study group in general
diabetes knowledge,
diabetes management knowledge, and awareness of
diabetes prevention strategies, when compared to the baseline study group and comparison group.

▼ Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus är en kronisk folksjukdom som drabbar miljoner människor över hela världen. Denna långvariga sjukdom kan leda till komplikationer som svårläkta fotsår som medför lidande för patienten, begränsar vardagen och sänker livskvaliten, vilket i svåra fall kan leda till amputation. Dessa svårläkta fotsår kostar samhället massor vilket är ett bekymmer. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskans arbete i förebyggandet av fotsår hos personer med diabetes mellitus samt att beskriva de ingående artiklarnas undersökningsgrupp. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie som baserats på tio vetenskapliga artiklar, åtta med kvantitativ ansats, en med kvalitativ ansats samt en med mixad ansats. Artiklarna söktes i sökmotorn PubMed samt databasen Cinahl. Resultat: Det finns några punkter som spelar stor roll i förebyggandet av diabetes fotsår. Detta är att sjuksköterskor ska identifiera risker hos personer med diabetes. Detta görs med hjälp av olika instrument för att upptäcka neutrovaskulärpati. Det andra sättet i förebyggandet är att öka kunskap hos personer med diabetes och vägleda dem till egenvård. Detta möjliggörs genom att ge fotvårdsutbildning till patienter för att sköta sina fötter och på så sätt förhindra uppkomsten av fotsår och fotkomplikationer. Det sista resultatet som kom fram i den här litteraturstudien är att ett samarbete mellan olika vårdprofessioner krävs i det förebyggande arbetet. Framför allt är ett bra samarbete mellan sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor som är angeläget. Slutsats: Olika faktorer kan påverka positivt på förebyggandet av fotsår hos personer med diabetes. Dessa faktorer är att identifiera risker, upptäcka neurovaskulärpati i tid, öka kunskap hos dessa personer och vägleda dem till egenvård samt skapa en bra kommunikation mellan olika vårdprofessioner.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This long-lasting disease may have bad complications like chronic foot ulcers that causes suffering for the patient, limits the everyday life and lowers quality of life and severe cases can lead to amputations. The slow-healing foot ulcers costs society a lot, which is a concern. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the nurse's work in the prevention of foot ulcers in people with diabetes mellitus and to describe the depth of the articles study group. Method: A descriptive literature study based on ten scientific articles, eight of the quantitative approach, a qualitative approach and a mixed approach. Articles were searched in the databases CINAHL and PubMed. Results: There are some points that play a major role in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. This is nurses to identify risks in people with diabetes. This is done using a variety of instruments to detect neutrovaskulärpati. The other way of prevention is to increase the knowledge of the…

▼ Lifestyle interventions are proven to be effective in preventing or delaying type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in high risk individuals, such as women with a history of gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM) referred to henceforth as GDM women. This thesis was designed to address the lack of understanding of factors that affect lifestyle of GDM women in Pakistan and identify suitable approaches for intervention. A series of studies were conducted to develop valid and reliable measures for constructs in the trans-theoretical model (TTM), family support and diet and to test a model for lifestyle change. The study participants were recruited from a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. The qualitative study used in-depth interviews (n=24) and group discussions (n=17) and was analysed thematically. Measures were developed and tested in a cross sectional survey of post-natal women (n=331). Exploratory factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity of measures and Partial least Square (PLS) to predict diet and physical activity of GDM women in Pakistan. The qualitative findings revealed lack of knowledge, social support, cultural expectations and gender role as influencing lifestyle of GDM women. Variables that included TTM constructs (pros and cons, self efficacy and stages of change), family support and selected demographic factors predicted 44 percent of variance in dietary fat intake and 38 percent of physical activity of GDM women. These models explained much less of the variance in non-GDM women. Self-efficacy, cons for change and positive family support were the most significant predicators of dietary behaviour. Self-efficacy and cons for change were significant predictors of physical activity. This study makes an original contribution to the gap in knowledge of factors that affect lifestyle behaviours of GDM women in a South Asian context, and specifically Pakistan. The findings indicate that interventions for GDM women using strategies to improve self efficacy, addressing perceived cons, and using family support would be effective. Culturally specific messages, delivered by a health care provider targeting weight management would be acceptable for GDM women in Pakistan. The findings inform the design of a lifestyle intervention for this target group.

▼ BACKGROUND: Type II
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a
serious and relevant public health problem. Lifestyle programs like
the
Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) can delay a patient’s
progression to T2DM. Identifying which patients are likely to
enroll in these programs and tailoring recruitment approaches to
those with perceived barriers is one way to increase engagement in
health promotion. Previous literature on antidepressant use and
T2DM has raised concerns that antidepressant use is associated with
T2DM, however these studies have been variable in quality.
Similarly, while statins are one of the most widely prescribed
medications in the United States; concern has been raised that they
are associated with incident T2DM. The effect of statin use on
glycemic control in nondiabetic patients is currently unclear.
METHODS: Three retrospective cohort studies were conducted among
individuals in the Midwest enrolled in an insurance plan from 2011
through 2014. These studies combined data from medical and pharmacy
claims, annual biometric screenings and a health survey. The goal
of the first study was to identify differences between prediabetic
patients who did and did not volunteer to enroll in a worksite DPP.
Covariates were compared for prediabetics who did and did not elect
to participate in the DPP using multivariable logistic regression
(n=2,158). Generalized linear mixed models with random intercepts
were then used to compare biometric trajectories for the two
groups. The goal of studies two and three was to identify if
antidepressant or statin users who were members of this insurance
cohort were at risk for elevated HbA1c or T2DM development. The
second study was restricted to patients with indications for
antidepressant use (n=2,063) and the third study was among patients
with indications for statin use (n=7,064). The methods were
identical for studies two and three. Elevated glycosylated
hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was compared for nondiabetic antidepressant,
or statin, users and nonusers after applying inverse probability
weighting with logistic regression for the outcome of elevated
HbA1c (>6.0). To evaluate the risk of T2DM development, Cox
proportional hazard models with time varying antidepressant, or
statin, use compared incident T2DM diagnoses among antidepressant
or statin users and nonusers. Comparisons were also made by
duration of use and class for antidepressant, or statin, users and
nonusers and intensity of dose was compared for statin
users.RESULTS: The first analysis identified that prediabetics were
more likely to express interest in the DPP if they were female,
African American, older, free of hypertension, had more doctor
visits, or lower self-efficacy to make healthy lifestyle changes.
The second analysis found no differences in elevated HbA1c, or new
onset T2DM, across antidepressant users, or duration of use. The
third analysis found no differences in elevated HbA1c, however new
onset of T2DM was highest among statin users who had been taking
statins for 2 years or longer; no differences were…

▼ Objective – The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the oral microbiome on long-term health, as well as how and why to intervene Naturopathically for its optimization. This study looks at research regarding the composition and health impacts of differing oral microbiomes and also explores current and potential treatment protocols for long-term sound health. Basic Procedures – The databases used for searching were Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Dentistry & Oral Sciences, AMED-Alternative Medicine, and PubMed. Researched focused on papers showing oral microbiome compositions and associated states of health and habits, conventional dentistry treatments and their efficacy, and finally botanical medicine as well as other Naturopathic modalities and their impact on oral and systemic health. Papers were chosen that were published within the last 20 years, with the majority of studies containing human subjects. Main Findings – The oral microbiome has a profound impact on long-term health. Aberrant microbiomes can promote chronic infection and inflammation, leading to systemic diseases such as Diabetes, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract complications, anemia, gastrointestinal disease, preterm labor, and cancer. There are many existing and well studied Naturopathic approaches to reverse the pathogenic oral microbiome and support a more commensal relationship, promoting a being’s overall health, longevity, and quality of life. Principal Conclusions - Conventional dentistry is an important tool for oral health, however standard treatments are geared towards acute infection, and protocols do not extensively examine the oral microbiome with regards to potential subacute dysbioses which can severely impact long-term health. There are botanical, nutritional, lifestyle and technological interventions which address these aberrant microbiomes. These practices have the potential to prevent and possibly reverse chronic disease states.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT : The prevalence, and associated burden of type-two
diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is rapidly increasing
globally, and in South Africa, with men and women of all ages being affected. While there has been
an extensive research into the pathophysiological mechanisms, and to some extent, the management
of T2DM, healthcare systems are still not able to adequately deal with the increasing number of
patients being diagnosed with the disease. Professional- and community-led lifestyle interventions
have recently showed the most promise in combating T2DM. There is however, a paucity of data on
comprehensive lifestyle interventions in communities of low socio-economic status (SES), where
the incidence of T2DM and its related complications is high.
The primary aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a community-based, 10-week
lifestyle intervention on physiological, psychological and health-related outcomes in adults
suffering with T2DM in a low SES community.
Forty-three participants completed the study (age 59.5 ± 12.2 years, 25 Women; 18 Men), of which
23 made up the experimental group (EXP; BMI: 33.8 ± 7.5; HbA1c: 8.8 ± 2.1) and 20 made up the
control group (CON; BMI: 34.4 ± 9.7; HbA1c: 9.4 ± 2.3). The control group completed a pre- and
post-testing session, while experimental completed an additional post-testing retention session. The
experimental group participated in a 10-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention. A number of
anthropometric, cardiovascular and functional measurements were carried out, and questionnaires
related to health-related quality of life (HRQoL), social support, dietary habits and lifestyle
behaviours, as well as health professional usage were also administered.
Following the 10-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention, there was a positive change in the
outcome variables measured. There was a statistically significant decrease (p < 0.05) in body fat
percentage, diastolic blood pressure and HbA1c, with a statistically significant increase in the total
distance walked during the six-minute walk test (6MWT) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a
statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in all but three of the HRQoL domains. Dietary
habits and lifestyle behaviours improved significantly (p < 0.05), with the exception of eating times
where there was no change. The frequency at which the participants actively sought professional
assistance with the management of their T2DM did not change significantly (p > 0.05). The results
from the retention period, obtained 10-weeks after the conclusion of the intervention, suggest that the changes as a result of the program were maintained, however, it is uncertain if those results can
be attributed to the use of the post-intervention guide.
The findings of this study indicate that a 10-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention is effective
in improving physiological, psychological and health-related outcomes in adults with T2DM living
in a low SES community. The use of a post-intervention guide as…

▼ Background Increased glycaemia during pregnancy is associated with adverse health outcomes for women and their babies. This thesis aimed to investigate and evaluate the strategies used for preventing, diagnosing and managing pregnancy hyperglycaemia. Methods Research methodologies used included Cochrane systematic review, qualitative semi-structured interview and a follow-up cohort study of women and babies within a randomised trial. Results Three Cochrane systematic reviews were conducted in identified research gaps. The first review assessed the effects of physical exercise for preventing gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM). Evidence from five randomised controlled trials involving 922 women and their babies suggested no differences in the incidence of GDM, caesarean section or operative vaginal birth between women who received additional exercise interventions and those having routine antenatal care. The second review assessed nine randomised trials involving 429 women and 436 babies investigated eleven different types of dietary advice within six different comparisons. No one type of dietary advice was more effective than others in reducing the risk of caesarean section, operative vaginal birth, large-for-gestational age or macrosomic infants. The third review assessed the effects of different types of management strategies for pregnant women with borderline GDM. Evidence from four randomised controlled trials involving 521 women and their babies suggested additional interventions, including dietary counselling and metabolic monitoring, helped reduce the number of macrosomic and large-for-gestational-age babies without increasing the risks of caesarean section or operative vaginal birth. All three systematic reviews highlighted the need for further, larger, well-designed trials. The qualitative semi-structured interview study explored women’s views on their diagnosis and management for borderline GDM. Twenty-two women attended the interviews. The diagnosis of borderline GDM caused concern for one third of women. The majority of women believed managing their borderline GDM was important and they planned to improve their lifestyle. Factors affecting women’s ability to achieve intended lifestyle changes varied greatly. The most important enabler was thinking about baby’s health. The most significant barrier was a lack of family support. The follow-up cohort study within a randomised trial followed 245 mother-baby pairs at four to 12 months after birth to assess their health. Additional lifestyle interventions during pregnancy for women with borderline GDM had no impact on primary outcomes of maternal weight retention at four months postpartum or their babies’ weight at four to 12 months of age, or any secondary outcomes, except infant subcutaneous adiposity at four months of age. Conclusion Synthesis of available evidence on different strategies for preventing and managing pregnancy hyperglycaemia does not yet permit clear guidance for clinical practice but indicates the need for further trials with long-term follow…

▼ Bakgrund: Diabetes är en kronisk sjukdom som uppskattas att ca 19 % av all jordens befolkning över 65 år har. Typ 2 diabetes brukar oftast upptäckas vid en komplikation såsom fotsår. Fotsår kan förebyggas tidigt och sjuksköterskan kan ha en stor betydelse i denna process. Kunskapsutvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvården går snabbt och därför är det av betydelse att se över de senaste årens forskning om hur sjuksköterskan bäst kan bidra till att förebygga diabetsfotsår. Syfte: Att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan kan förebygga diabetesfotsår hos patienter med typ 2 diabetes. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturöversikt. Sökningarna utfördes i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Nio artiklar sorterades ut till resultatet. Analysen genomfördes enligt Fribergs (2017) definition. Resultat: Studien resulterade i tre kategorier, att informera och utbilda, att screena fördiabetesfotsår och att samarbeta mellan professioner. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att informera och utbilda patienterna om diabetes för att förebygga komplikationer av diabetesfotsår hos patienter med typ 2 diabetes. Tidig upptäckt av neuropati och perifer artärsjukdom med hjälp av screeningsverktyg kan vara essentiell för att förebygga diabetesfotsår. Det är av betydelse att sjuksköterskan har ett gott samarbete med multidisciplinära team för att förebygga diabetesfotsår hos patienter med typ 2 diabetes.
