The primary outcomes assessed were glycemic control, pain scores, and skin complications (ecchymosis, lipohypertrophy, nodules, infection) at baseline and 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the intervention. Secondary outcomes included treatment adherence, quality of life, microbiological contamination of syringes and needles, needle quality, and insulin injection technique.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a quasiexperimental study using the Optum deidentified Clinformatics Data Mart Database (January 2003 to December 2017). The intervention group included 5,582 patients with diabetes age 12–64 years switched by employers to PDL coverage; the control group included 5,582 matched patients whose employers offered no PDL. Outcomes included out-of-pocket costs, standardized costs, and 30-day fills for all medications because PDL-associated savings could be used to pay for medicines in other classes and for five therapeutic classes covered by the PDLs (oral diabetic medications, insulins, test strips, antihypertensive drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs). RESULTS Pre– to post–out-of-pocket spending for all medications declined by 29.7% in follow-up year 2 (95% CI −36.0, −23.4%) among PDL members relative to controls. Higher-income and lower-income PDL members experienced significant reductions in out-of-pocket spending for all medications in year 2 (30%) and for key therapeutic classes (range −23 to −67%). We found significant increases in use of key therapeutic classes in the overall population (range 8–15%) and in higher-income and lower-income PDL members (range 9–50%). CONCLUSIONS PDLs offer an effective strategy for employers and insurers to lower member cost sharing and encourage increased use of important medications to prevent or manage chronic illnesses. For patients with diabetes, especially those with lower incomes, PDL coverage resulted in substantial and persistent reductions in out-of-pocket medication costs, medication use increases, and some increased use of more expensive products.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142385617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prespecified, secondary observational analysis focused on differences in glycemic control and safety outcomes between participants from the original AHCL group who continued AHCL intrapartum (n = 27) and/or early postpartum (n = 37, until hospital discharge) and those from the original standard insulin therapy group using standard insulin therapy intrapartum (n = 45) and/or early postpartum (n = 34). RESULTS Of the 43 and 46 participants in the AHCL and standard insulin therapy groups, respectively, completing the trial, 27 (62.8%) in the AHCL group continued AHCL and 45 in the standard insulin therapy group (97.8%) continued standard insulin therapy intrapartum.

However, the impact of CGM use, coupled with simplified treatment regimens and personalized glycemic goals that are better suited for older patients with multiple comorbidities and hypoglycemia, is not known. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Older adults (≥65 years) with T1D with hypoglycemia (two or more episodes of hypoglycemia [blood glucose <70 mg/dL for ≥20 min over 2 weeks]) who were CGM naïve or CGM users were randomized to intervention and control groups. The intervention consisted of the combined use of CGM with geriatric principles (i.e., adjusting goals based on overall health, and simplification of regimens based on CGM patterns and clinical characteristics) over 6 months. The control group received usual care by their endocrinologist. The primary end point was change in time when blood glucose was <70 mg/dL from baseline to 6 months. Cost-effectiveness was calculated using a health care sector perspective. RESULTS We randomized 131 participants (aged 71 ± 5 years; 21% ≥75 years old) to the intervention (n = 68; CGM users = 33) or the control (n = 63; CGM users = 40) group.

However, clinical evidence supporting this concept is lacking. Short-term intensive insulin therapy (IIT) can ameliorate glucotoxicity and improve β-cell function in early T2D. Thus, for evidence of recovery of glucotoxicity-associated β-cell dysfunction, we sought to determine whether there exists a baseline fasting glucose threshold above which the post-IIT improvement in both β-cell function and glycemia is amplified. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS IIT (glargine, lispro) was administered for 3 weeks to 108 adults with T2D (mean duration 1.8 ± 1.4 years). Oral glucose tolerance tests before and after IIT enabled assessment of β-cell function by Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 and insulinogenic index/HOMA-insulin resistance. For each level of baseline fasting glycemia from 6.0 to 10.5 mmol/L, we modeled the difference in IIT-induced percentage change in β-cell function between those at/above the indicated glucose level and those below it. RESULTS The relationship between baseline fasting glucose and the differential change in β-cell function was nonlinear. Instead, this relationship was best fit by a cubic regression model with inflection (amplification) at fasting glucose at 9.3 mmol/L. Moreover, baseline fasting glucose at 9.3 mmol/L also identified the inflection point at which nonlinear reductions in fasting glucose and 2-h glucose, respectively, were both amplified. CONCLUSIONS The respective improvements in β-cell function and glycemia in response to short-term IIT are amplified in those in whom baseline fasting glucose exceeds a defined threshold, consistent with reversal of glucotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142275869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate per-month changes in hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, and postload glucose in relation to urinary metal levels. Multiple statistical approaches were used to assess the associations between glycemic traits and metal mixtures. RESULTS After adjustment, higher urinary levels of arsenic, selenium, copper, molybdenum, nickel, and tin were associated with faster increases in measures of glycemia. The toxic metal mixture composed of arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel, and tin was associated with faster increases in postload glucose.

There was no evidence for difference in psychosocial outcomes between the two groups at study end. CONCLUSIONS AHCL should be encouraged in youth with suboptimal glycemia, as AHCL improves glycemia. However, psychological support remains vital, as technology alone may not be able to reduce the burden of diabetes care in this subgroup.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"324 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
