The aim has been to understand which children would be most at risk of adult onset diabetes. Repeated measures in the same individuals reveal trends which may be associated with diabetes risk, and will help determine the direction of causality. This report draws on 12 years of EarlyBird data, giving an insight into diabetes risk in three areas: • Trends in both insulin supply (secretion) and demand (tissue resistance) over the period of pubertal development affect diabetes risk. This paper compares insulin resistance and beta cell function in children who develop impaired fasting glucose with those whose glucose levels remain within the normal range.• Epigenetics is a new area of research. While genetic make-up cannot change, the way genes are expressed (turned on or off) can vary in relation to environmental stressors. This paper reviews preliminary analyses of epigenetic variation in a gene associ...","PeriodicalId":100496,"journal":{"name":"European Diabetes Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86153463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oftedal","doi":"10.1002/EDN.247","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/EDN.247","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe aim of this study was to describe how adults with type 2 diabetes perceive support provided by family and friends and how such support can influence their diabetes management. Diabetes management behaviours have been described as challenging, and many individuals with type 2 diabetes fail to attain optimal glycaemic control. It has therefore been suggested that support from family and friends is critical for effective diabetes management. However, there is little empirical evidence from a patient perspective of how support provided by family and friends is perceived and how support can influence patients’ diabetes management.The study was comprised of a descriptive qualitative design that included three focus groups, which were used to collect data. The sample consisted of 19 adults with type 2 diabetes, and the data was analysed using qualitative content analysis.The findings revealed three themes reflecting perceived support from family and friends: mixed practical support; non-constructive ...","PeriodicalId":100496,"journal":{"name":"European Diabetes Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89583287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People with diabetes have a unique set of care needs during the last year, months and days of life, but until now there has been little guidance on their specific clinical requirements. Approximately half a million people die in England each year and around 75 000 of them will have diabetes. European statistics demonstrate important variations in mortality and the burden of disease related to diabetes with age standardised death rates per 100 000 ranging from 4.0 (Greece) to 17.9 (Portugal), and with higher levels ranging from 36.1 (Israel) to 46.8 (Armenia). It is important that health care professionals are equipped with the knowledge, skills and clear guidance in order to support patients, relatives and carers during what is often a difficult time for all.</p><p>This article gives a robust definition of the term ‘end of life’, discusses the demise of more generic United Kingdom guidance on the care of the dying, and presents a consensus approach to quality care for people who are nearing the end of their life.

{"title":"Strong solutions for vulnerable issues","authors":"Magdalena Annersten Gershater,&nbsp;Angus Forbes","doi":"10.1002/edn.238","DOIUrl":"10.1002/edn.238","url":null,"abstract":"<p>These drivers are particularly important in the context of vulnerability. We have seen that it was the most vulnerable patients, the older frail patients and those with multiple comorbidities that were most affected by the universal pursuit of aggressive treatment targets. It is the vulnerable that require much more sensitive management with the need to balance different needs and risks. And we often find vulnerability in the patients who struggle to adapt to life with diabetes – those that may not engage well with diabetes care. In this edition of the journal we have some exemplar innovations that address many of these issues.</p><p>In the report from Shepherd, we hear about the important issue of patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and the role diabetes nurses can play in identifying these patients and ensuring appropriate care. These patients are vulnerable as they can receive inappropriate treatment that can be detrimental to their well-being. The report contains methods for identifying these patients and individually tailored treatments that will help ensure better care outcomes.</p><p>Another important vulnerable group of patients with diabetes are patients at the end of life. James's report highlights the need for a sensitive and, again, individualised approach to care management for these patients. At the end of life the challenge is to promote comfort and quality of life. The report gives diabetes nurses a framework to help them consider the needs of patients, relatives and carers through this difficult and vulnerable period during the different stages in end of life care. Again, we see that individualisation is important and that diabetes nurses should be taking a lead in maximising the quality of life in these patients and in symptom alleviation.</p><p>Young infants are by definition vulnerable. Having to manage a complex health problem like diabetes with a demanding technology such as an insulin pump can be very difficult for families. These families can feel vulnerable; this vulnerability is captured in the report from Forsner <i>et al</i>., which highlights the needs of parents and infants with diabetes in relation to pump therapy.</p><p>We also have a report from Halkoaho <i>et al</i>. identifying the difficulties patients face in living with type 2 diabetes. The report illustrates that patients value a supportive approach with strong relational care and that, when health professionals promote their own agenda focusing on medications and lifestyle change, this can be alienating. This is, again, vulnerability: it is the vulnerability of the patient's interest in their diabetes and the belief that they can do things that will make a difference to their own health.</p><p>Vulnerability is also an important global issue. We include in this edition a report from the recent World Diabetes Congress in Melbourne at the end of last year.
