This article critically discusses the issues that may arise from this new trend, including pathologising normal post‐prandial glucose excursions, the unnecessary avoidance of healthful foods and the risk of a glucocentric approach to nutrition which could inadvertently increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases a person is trying to avoid. The theoretical benefits of CGMs in people without diabetes will be discussed, and recommendations for the evidence needed to help realise their potential will be made.

{"title":"Using virtual reality based learning to provide education on the management of diabetes emergencies for doctors in training","authors":"Ritwika Mallik, Jack Pottle, Ben Atkinson, Partha Kar, Mayank Patel","doi":"10.1002/pdi.2473","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.2473","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract It is essential that all doctors in training feel confident in their ability to manage diabetes emergencies occurring in hospital settings. This is particularly pertinent when specialist expertise is not always immediately available, as well as at a time when diabetes prevalence in hospitals is rising. The project team created interactive, immersive scenarios and ran ‘DEVICE’ (Diabetes Emergencies: Virtual Interactive Clinical Education), a pilot study to test the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) as a safe‐space learning medium for training medical staff on diabetes emergency management. Each study participant worked through two emergency scenarios, under the supervision of a consultant trainer. Analysis of the participants’ performance metrics showed improved clinical approaches and increased confidence in handling diabetes emergencies by these non‐specialist participants. Here we describe this pilot study development in more detail, as well as provide an update following the national roll‐out of these training resources across seven national postgraduate medical deaneries. The DEVICE initiative was found to be scalable and sustainable, with VR‐based learning deemed to be a popular, safe, and effective teaching tool for diabetes. We are now developing VR‐based training cases for use by other health care professionals within primary and secondary care.

{"title":"Who owns health data anyway?","authors":"Louise R Curtis","doi":"10.1002/pdi.2472","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.2472","url":null,"abstract":"Data driven technologies have revolutionised the management of diabetes allowing people to take a greater role in their care; however, use of such systems creates tremendous quantities of data. We have become accustomed to the sharing of data within the health care professional relationship. For example, someone with type 1 diabetes who experiences hypoglycaemia may explore their glucose profile with their diabetes specialist team. This is acceptable to both parties as there is an implicit trust underpinned by confidentiality and a shared goal. What happens when a third party with their own business interest is introduced to that relationship? Who owns that data? There is an increasingly insistent call for people to take control of ‘their’ data framed as the right of ownership with quotes such as ‘Who owns the data owns the future’ becoming well-worn clichés where the alternatives include the risk of exploitation by ‘surveillance capitalism’.1 Health data is far more than that held in clinical records with collective health data being greater than the sum of its parts. All data can be seen as health data with an estimated 80–90% generated outside of the clinical setting.2 From grocery shopping to sleep habits, walking speed to typing speed, patient-generated health data (PGHD) combines all factors that can reflect an individual's health. Despite the concept of personal ownership of one's data coming into the public awareness following the Cambridge Analytica scandal,3 there has been a proliferation and ubiquity in data intensive software generating PGHD such as health and wellness apps, heart rate wrist monitors and nutrition programmes. This ‘self- tracking’ is marketed as a means to gain self-awareness and improved wellbeing.4 It has been shown that motion data from a smartphone can predict behaviour and mental state of the user,5 so how much more might the tremendous volume of data from continuous glucose monitoring, bolus advisors and insulin requirements in a hybrid closed-loop system predict? Cross reference this with an online calendar, geolocation, spending patterns, sleep and menstrual cycle and you gain an in-depth understanding into someone's life beyond the remit of their diabetes care. Ensuring that the collection, use and access of these data meets the expectations of the public is essential to maintain the professional relationship.6 From the perspective of UK law, health data does not have an extensive system of specific rules like those that govern intellectual property. Arguably, even if this were developed, the advantages of a property framework to govern health information may be limited. The monetary value of one person's data points is likely to be insignificant as value lies in collective data from a population. It is also unclear whether legal ownership would provide patients access to the data economy. Perhaps more pertinently from a health perspective is whether legal ownership of health data would enhance self-care and ","PeriodicalId":20309,"journal":{"name":"Practical Diabetes","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135638114","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}

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports that the global incidence of T1D is estimated to be around 15 cases per 100,000 population per year.1 There has been a global increase in the incidence of T1D over the past few decades, particularly in children under the age of five. The reasons for this increase in incidence are not well understood, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In the UK, around 400,000 people are affected by T1D and life expectancy is reduced in people with T1D.2 Diabetes remains a leading cause of blindness in people of working age, the leading cause of renal failure and second most common cause of lower limb amputation. While the condition can be managed with proper treatment and care, those living in low-middle income countries (LMICs) often lack access to the necessary resources, resulting in poor health outcomes for many living with T1D.1 In LMICs, T1D is often diagnosed late due to limited access to health care services and diagnostic tools. This delay in diagnosis can result in high mortality rates from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Once diagnosed, managing T1D in LMICs can be a challenge. The cost of insulin and other medications can be prohibitively expensive, and many people do not have access to blood glucose monitoring devices, blood glucose strips or other essential diabetes supplies. As a result, many people with T1D in these countries must rely on inadequate treatment options putting their health at risk of lifelong complications such as nerve damage, blindness, and kidney failure.3","PeriodicalId":20309,"journal":{"name":"Practical Diabetes","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88962604","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}
