To ensure a high level of safety for patients and users of in vitro diagnostic devices, an updated In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR 2017/746) has been published, including new safety and performance prerequisites. However, BGMD accuracy may be limited by certain ‘real-life’ environmental factors, which should be respected in the performance evaluation. Methods: The temperature-and humidity-dependent performance of 4 different BGMD using up to 440 capillary blood samples was determined. BGMDs with associated test strips were stored at 15°C, 25°C and 35°C resp. at a relative humidity of 40% and 80% in order to imitate potential ‘real-life’ performance settings. Glucose measurements were compared to blood glucose values determined using standardized Laboratory equipment and were analyzed based on the ISO 15197:2013 system accuracy criteria. Results: Two out of three BGMDs provided consistent results across temperature ranges based on the medical threshold of a mean glucose change less than 15 mg/dl, although blood glucose difference of up to 96 mg/dl was found at an individual patient level after pairwise temperature comparison. For one device up to 31.2% of patients’ values were outside the defined limits when comparing 15o C to 35o C. Changes in humidity levels did not significantly influence the mean values across the BGMDs, although high deviations were observed at patients’ individual glucose levels. Conclusion: Moderate temperature and humidity changes can affect the accuracy of point-of\u0002care devices to a profound extent at an individual patient level. These ‘real-life’ environmental factors need to be included in the performance evaluation as required in the IVDR 2017/746 in order to provide a solid testing system for novel point-of-care-devices.","PeriodicalId":89355,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes management (London, England)","volume":"11 1","pages":"257-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69923570","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}

These goals can only be achieved by having a healthcare organization that guarantees patient equity of access, quality and continuity of care, with an appropriate use of resources. To make the treatment organization efficient and appropriate, various health systems have implemented Diagnostic Therapeutic Assistance Paths (DTAP). DTAPs aim to share decision-making processes and healthcare organization for specific groups of patients on the basis of existing guidelines and in relation to the available resources, during a well-defined period of time. In Italy, the Italian Association of Diabetologists (AMD) scientific society, in association with Association of Pediatric Endocrinologists and Diabetologists (SIEDP), and voluntary diabetes associations (i.e. Diabetes Italia) developed a national DTAP for T1DM. Five DTAP models were defined, focusing on 5 different disease stages or treatment process: onset of illness or first referral from another diabetes clinic, routine visit in good metabolic control, uncontrolled hyperglycemia, advanced technologies, transition from pediatric to adult diabetes clinic. Objectives, healthcare professionals involved, visits organization, and educational contents for each of these PDTAs are detailed in the core document. This DTAP will be disseminated through the AMD regional referents to the Regional Healthcare Systems. Each Region will be asked to implement the DTAP through multi-professional working groups, with the participation of regional AMD referents and representatives of Patient Associations. The DTAP effectiveness will be evaluated using an indicators’ system every year.","PeriodicalId":89355,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes management (London, England)","volume":"11 1","pages":"231-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69923511","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}

In the present study, the effects of oral hypoglycaemic drugs (metformin, pioglitazone and rosiglitazone) on the morphology of the sciatic nerve were investigated. Forty male Wistar rats (140 g) divided into 5 groups control, diabetic, and 3 experimental groups (n=8) were used for the study. The 3 experimental groups were rendered diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (150 mg/kg body weight) and subsequently treated with metformin (150 mg/kg/d), pioglitazone (3 mg/kg/d) and rosiglitazone (10 mg/kg/d) respectively. At 28 days of treatment, sciatic nerve morphology was studied by the Bielschosky’s Silver Nitrate (BSN) and Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) techniques. Blood glucose levels were monitored and recorded throughout the experiment. In the diabetic rats with oral hypoglycaemic interventions, blood glucose was not significantly different (P>0.05) from the control at 28 days of treatment. The body weight of Rosiglitazone-treated rats showed significant increase when compared with the control and other oral hypoglycaemic drug-treated rats. The axon and myelin fibers showed relatively strong affinity for BSN and LFB in the control and oral hypoglycaemic drug\u0002treated diabetic rats contrary to the weak affinity for the stains in the untreated diabetic rats. These results suggest that oral hypoglycaemic drugs exerted positive effects on the treatment and improvement of sciatic nerve morphology of alloxan-induced diabetic rats.","PeriodicalId":89355,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes management (London, England)","volume":"11 1","pages":"265-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69923632","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}
