Management of people with type 2 diabetes has been led by hospital based secondary care. The objective of the service redesign was to transfer the management of the majority of people with type 2 diabetes from secondary care to general practitioner (GP) led, multidisciplinary primary care (comprising the GP, practice nurses, dietitians and podiatrists) delivered closer to the patients. Prior to implementation, all primary health care professionals undertook accredited educational preparation and there was infrastructure development by the creation of new posts and streamlining of IT systems to support the planned change.The study aim was to examine health care professionals’ perspectives of diabetes, its management, the value of clinical guidelines and the impact of practice organisation.A cross-sectional survey design was used.

Doesn't this look common to what we are trying to achieve in diabetes care? One way of getting there is by sharing information in order to learn from each other. This is exactly what <i>EDN</i> aims to achieve. Not to solve the euro crisis, but to strengthen diabetes nursing across Europe. Then again, with over 60 million people who live with diabetes in Europe, evidence-based care does have significant economic and other implications.</p><p>This issue of <i>EDN</i> presents very interesting pieces of evidence. Huber <i>et al</i>. shed light on the views held and problems encountered by nurses working in home health care and nursing homes. Clarke reports on associations between personal characteristics and benefits of attendance at CODE, a structured diabetes education programme. Interim results of a study on the contribution of participant-driven patient education to a reduction of new ulceration are presented by Annersten Gershater <i>et al</i>.

There was no opportunity given to discuss possible solutions among those participating in these round tables. It was an opportunity lost and in fact a number of government representatives expressed this disappointment. In my view, the title ‘round table discussion’ was misleading.</p><p>Each government representative was permitted to make a three-minute statement and, because of the large number of statements, this consumed valuable time which might have been spent in a more worthwhile way in discussion regarding solutions but this appears to be the way in which UN ‘round tables’ are conducted. It was also the experience of FEND representatives at the informal civil society meeting at the UN in June.</p><p>Dr Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO, called the meeting a ‘watershed event’ during her plenary address at the opening of the summit. Many of the government representatives who spoke indicated their awareness of the impact of NCDs in their own countries, and in some cases committed to additional funding and action plans to specific programmes relating to NCD prevention and control. WHO will be the central agency co-ordinating action post following on from this summit in preparation for a formal report by the end of 2012.</p><p>It follows that civil society organisations including FEND should now engage with their national governments because it is there that the responsibility lies. So the work of advocacy must continue. The International Diabetes Federation, as a member of the NCD group, will be addressing the key issues in relation to the deficits in the political declaration as well as ensuring that governments who have made commitments during the UN HLM are held to account.</p><p>FEND will engage with WHO through the offices of Dr Ala Alwan, Assistant Director General of WHO with special responsibility for NCDs.

The President of FEND, Anne-Marie Felton, emphasised the role of diabetes nursing as not solely clinical and research but also having an advocacy responsibility for all people living with diabetes.</p><p>The co-ordinator of the Portuguese Diabetes Association, Dr Boavida, gave a review of the impact diabetes has on the Portuguese population. He also outlined the National Diabetes Prevention programme which began in 2008 and which is aiming to reduce the incidence of diabetes in the Portuguese population. According to Lurdes Serrabulho, diabetes nursing in Portugal was recognised in the 1970s; however, a dedicated course for this specialty did not commence until more than two decades later. Patient education has been a focal aspect of care in Portugal with the world's first Diabetes Association being established in Lisbon in 1929 under the guidance of Dr Ernesto Roma.</p><p>The Leuven model of diabetes care in the ICU setting was presented by Koen Vanhonsebrouck. This model was the basis of the first randomised controlled trial on the management of glycaemia in the intensive care setting and confirmed the positive impact of maintaining near normal blood glucose levels on mortality and morbidity. While other studies have argued against tight glycaemic control in this patient cohort, fundamental differences were identified in these studies, such as technology and education of staff.</p><p>Dr Peter Adolfsson from Sweden presented on the effects and benefits of exercise in people with diabetes. In general, people living with diabetes tend to be less active than their non-diabetes counterparts. It is thought that fear of hypoglycaemia is a contributing factor. While glucose values are dependent on the intensity and the duration of the exercise, several other factors come into play such as the person's insulin sensitivity and dietary intake prior to, during and after the exercise. He explained the complex hormonal adaptation that occurs during exercise. The use of technology such as insulin pumps and glucose sensors have a place; however, when used he encouraged the trends to be analysed and the patients to be coached in the interpretation.</p><p>Prof Angus Forbes gave his overview of training of diabetes nurse specialists utilising the FEND ENDCUP model. He acknowledged that the training of diabetes health care professionals (HCPs) is variable across Europe; however, some fundamental aspects should be universal such as analysing the learning in order to achieve clinical competence and clinical performance. The FEND ENDCUP model strives for not only clinical excellence but also education and research excellence.</p><p>The management of severe obesity, which is at the extreme end of the spectrum of obesity, requires a dedicated multidisciplinary team approach.

We reviewed a needle phobic patient using a subcutaneous cannula device. The patient was using insulin glargine (Lantus) and insulin aspart (Novorapid). He had been advised to use two separate devices to keep the insulins apart. However, he was using the one device to give both insulin types and had experienced no problems.</p><p>Unlike most other insulins which are soluble at a neutral pH, insulin glargine is soluble at a pH of 4. The slightly acidic nature of glargine is the reason it can sting when injected. The manufacturer (Sanofi-Aventis) advises that it is never diluted or mixed with other insulins and that it should only be used if it is clear and colourless with no particles visible.</p><p>We demonstrate the effects of mixing insulin glargine with short acting insulin analogues. In each of six 1ml syringes we mixed 50 units of a long acting insulin analogue, either glargine (Lantus) or detemir (Levemir), with 50 units of a short acting analogue: aspart (Novorapid), lispro (Humalog) or glulisine (Apidra).</p><p>All of the short acting insulins mixed with insulin glargine immediately formed a cloudy white precipitate which gradually settled at the bottom of the syringe. In contrast, no precipitate was seen with the same short acting analogues mixed with detemir (see Figure 1).</p><p>Adding an insulin with a slightly acidic pH on to an insulin with a neutral pH results in a solution with a pH part-way between the two (depending on the proportions of the two insulins). At the new pH, neither insulin will now be soluble. The insulin molecules form crystals which precipitate out of solution. This reduces the effectiveness of the insulin dose.</p><p>Subcutaneous cannulae can be useful devices where patients might otherwise omit insulin doses because of needle phobia. Available brands include the Insuflon (Applied Medical Technology Ltd, Cambridge, UK) and the i-port (Patton Medical Devices, Austin, Texas, USA). These can be used for insulin but also for other repeated subcutaneous injections such as growth hormone, heparin, analgesics or G-CSF.</p><p>These injection ports reduce pain and anxiety around repeated injections.<span>1</span> Studies in children show that their use can improve glycaemic control. In one study, HbA<sub>1c</sub> dropped from 9.4% (79mmol/mol) to 8.5% (69mmol/mol) over six months.<span>2</span> They are designed to be changed every three to five days. They are not available on prescription on the National Health Service but patients can purchase them. They are not widely used, either because of the cost or because doctors and specialist nurses are unfamiliar with them.</p><p>We demonstrate why patients should be advised to use a separate injection port for the two different insulin types, especially if the long acting insulin is glargine. This advice is also relevant to patients injecting the two insulins","PeriodicalId":100496,"journal":{"name":"European Diabetes Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/edn.193","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84301825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
